How to check Google Chrome: for updates, version history

Google regularly updates its Chrome browser for security and performance enhancements. These updates are dispatched automatically to your computer, so you don't have to take any additional steps. Here we'll show you how to check if your Google Chrome browser is up-to-date.

How to check if Chrome is up to date?

Open Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen. In the dropdown that opens, select Help:

Go to About Google Chrome:

In the window that opens you will find the latest available version of Chrome listed. The browser updates automatically, but if an update is required for any reason you will be notified on this page. Since the browser is updated automatically, you typically do not need to take any additional steps. However, if you have not closed your browser since the update was completed, you will be notified to relaunch it in the About Google Chrome page.
