This wikiHow teaches you how to update the Google Chrome browser on your computer and
mobile devices. While Google Chrome updates typically install themselves, you can manually
trigger an update on a mobile device by using your mobile device's app store, or on a computer
by visiting the "About Google Chrome" page.

Google Chrome" page and looking for the "Google Chrome is up to date"
message on the left side of the page.
