Google ships minor updates to the \u201cStable\u201d version of Chrome every 2-3 weeks, while major updates happen every 4-6 weeks. The minor updates or point releases typically offer security updates and bug fixes. On the other hand, major releases often ship with new features.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Chrome automatically installs both minor and major updates in the background on all devices. However, there are instances when Google Chrome malfunctions and the browser fails to auto-update. If you have reasons to believe the browser isn\u2019t up-to-date, we\u2019ll show you how to check what Chrome version you have.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                  Chrome Development\/Release Channels\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Google releases all versions of the Chrome browser in trickles, depending on the stage of development. Chrome has four release channels<\/a>: Canary, Dev, Beta, and Stable.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Chrome Canary Channel\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                  This channel is at the forefront of Google Chrome\u2019s development phase. Google calls it the \u201cbleeding edge\u201d build of Chrome. Canary builds are in development, and new versions are released daily.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                  \n
                  \"Chrome<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  The Canary channel is the first testing ground for new features still in development. If Google were to introduce a new feature in Chrome, the company first pushes the feature to the Canary build for testing and observation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Chrome\u2019s Canary channel<\/a> is the most unstable build of the browser. You can run Chrome\u2019s Canary build alongside the stable version on your device. However, we don\u2019t recommend installing Chrome Canary unless you\u2019re asked to\u2014especially on your primary computer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Chrome Dev Channel\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                  Google updates the Dev channel once or twice weekly. Developers often use this build to get a 9-12 weeks preview of new features coming to Chrome.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The Dev channel<\/a> often crashes and malfunctions, but it\u2019s a lot more stable than the Canary channel. Google resolves issues with features in the Dev channel before marking them as \u201cstable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Chrome Beta Channel\n<\/h4>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"Chrome<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  Chrome\u2019s Beta build<\/a> lets you test-run new features 4-6 weeks before they\u2019re introduced to the Stable version of Chrome. Google updates the Beta channel roughly every week, fixing issues or bugs reported by Beta users\/testers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Stable Channel\n<\/h4>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"Chrome<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  Chrome\u2019s Stable build is what you\u2019ll find on the Chrome website, Google Play Store, and Apple App Store. The Stable channel is also called the \u201cOfficial Build\u201d The Chrome team has thoroughly tested this channel, and you should have little to no issue using the browser.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  32-bit or 64-bit Chrome: What\u2019s Different\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  You may see \u201c32-bit\u201d or \u201c64-bit\u201d next to your Chrome version number. The 64-bit version has more RAM than the 32-bit version and performs best on 64-bit computers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                  \n
                  \"32-bit<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  When downloading Chrome from Google Chrome\u2019s website on a Linux or macOS computer, you get the 64-bit version by default. In Windows, Chrome automatically detects your PC\u2019s processor architecture and provides the version that\u2019s best for your device.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  You\u2019ll get the 64-bit download link on a 64-bit PC and the 32-bit download link on 32-bit devices. Google also gives users the liberty to download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the browser. Scroll to the bottom of the Chrome download page<\/a> and select Other Platforms<\/span>.
                  <\/p>\n\n\n

                  \n
                  \"32-bit<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  Select your preferred version (32-bit or 64-bit) on the \u201cGet Chrome\u201d pop-up page.\n<\/p>\n\n\n
