As DriveCentric was built on Google Chrome, you will notice that Google Chrome requires updates every so often to their platform in order to function correctly with their newest builds. We wanted to share the steps that Google has provided on how to update your Google Chrome to ensure your computer is using the latest version of Google Chrome.

We have split these updates into the following three segments:

  • Updating Google Chrome on your Computer

  • Updating Google Chrome on your Android Device

  • Updating Google Chrome on your iPhone & iPad Device

Updating Google Chrome on your Computer:

Normally updates happen in the background when you close and reopen your computer's browser. But if you haven't closed your browser in a while, you might see a pending update:

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.

  2. At the top right, look at More

  3. If an update is pending, the icon will be colored:

    • Green: An update was released less than 2 days ago.

    • Orange: An update was released about 4 days ago.

    • Red: An update was released at least a week ago.

To update Google Chrome:

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.

  2. At the top right, click More

    More
  3. Click Help > About Google Chrome.

  4. Click Update Google Chrome.

    • Important: If you can't find this button, you're on the latest version.

  5. Click Relaunch.

The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.

Updating Google Chrome on your Android:

Chrome should automatically update based on your Play Store settings. You can check if there's a new version available:

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Play Store app

    Google Play
  2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.

  3. Tap Manage apps & device.

  4. Under "Updates available," find Chrome

  5. Next to Chrome, tap Update.

Updating Google Chrome on your iPhone & iPad:

Chrome should automatically update based on your Apple App Store settings. You can check if there's a new version available:

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store.

  2. At the top right, tap Profile

  3. Scroll down to "Available Updates," and search for Chrome

  4. If Chrome is listed, tap Update to install.

If you don’t have the Google Chrome app yet, download it from the App Store.
