How to update the browser on Android

To update it to the latest version on your Android phone or tablet, go to your device in Play Store... Next open sidebar and select "My Apps & Games".

Many people who are just starting to master new technologies do not know what the browser is for. They may also be unaware that all utilities, including browsers, should be updated regularly. How and why to do this on different devices?

What is a browser and what is it for

The browser is special utility for a PC, tablet or phone, thanks to which each user can open pages on the Internet if there is a network connection. Internet page - Text Document(source code) written in HTML language... The browser, or as it is also called the "browser", processes and transforms this text into graphics (pictures, labels, links, etc.) and provides interactivity on sites (the ability to scroll through pages, perform any actions on them).

Thanks to modern browsers, we see a graphical version of sites, which are essentially texts written in HTML

Each user has the right to look at the source code of the page - through the corresponding option of its context menu (called by right-clicking on the field free of icons). For many browsers, the Ctrl + U key combination works to invoke the code.

Click in context menu by "Show page code"

The text in this document is, of course, incomprehensible to an ordinary user, but for IT specialists it is a working tool.

An ordinary user will not understand the text of the source code of a page on the Internet - it will be understandable only for programmers

With Internet browsers, you can do the following:

View and listen to the content of pages: text, video, images, audio.
Move between pages of the same site.
Download files of various formats.
Save passwords from accounts on resources.
View browsing and search history.
Save page addresses as bookmarks for quick access.
Open several pages at once due to the ability to create a large number of tabs and much more.

Notable third-party browsers are Yandex Browser, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Hola, Safari, Orbitum, Amigo, Tor Browser other. Browsers such as UC Browser, Harley and Dolphin are also common on mobile gadgets. Windows has a built-in standard browser called Internet Explorer, for "ten" - Microsoft Edge... However, most users prefer to download and install utilities from other developers.

Basically, people prefer to use third-party browsers over the standard Internet Explorer.

Why do I need to update the browser and how to find out the current version

You need to do a regular update of the reviewers for the following reasons:

You can find out the current version of the browser in its special section "About the browser" or "About the program". How to open it, for example, in Google Chrome, we will describe in the following instructions:

Ways to update different browsers on PC and laptop for free

Modern utilities for "surfing" the Internet are updated independently in the background if they find a new version on the network, since the developers understand that not all users will update themselves.

For this, a special Update service that monitors the situation. It can, however, be disabled for some reason. It may also fail to download and install updates in automatic mode, so it is important to be able to download the browser update manually and constantly check if the program needs it. It's free and doesn't take long. To analyze the methods, let's take Yandex Browser, Mozilla Firefox, and standard Internet Explorer.

Via the official website of the browser

This method consists in installing a new version of the browser over the old one by downloading and running the program installer file downloaded from the developer's official resource. Let's start with the description of the Yandex Browser update:

Go to Yandex browser... On the page, you will immediately see a yellow Download button. Click on it to download the installer. The download will be fast.
Click on the "Download" button - the file for installation will be downloaded
The page will notify you that Yandex.Browser is already installed on your PC, but you can run the file in order to update the software. Open the installer through the Downloads panel.
Open the newly downloaded installer through the downloads panel
If you wish, leave a checkmark next to the item "Set as default browser" if you use the program often. Click on the "Install" button in the lower right corner.
Click on the yellow "Install" button to start the procedure
We are waiting for the completion of the installation process. When it finishes, the browser will automatically restart. Don't worry - your tabs won't disappear anywhere - the same pages and in the same order will open when you restart.
Wait for the installation procedure of the new version to be completed

To update "Mozilla" through the developer's resource, follow these instructions:

Finally, consider the update classic application Windows Internet Explorer up to version 11 in the "seven". It is the 11th version that is the most recent, safe and optimally working. It is important to update the standard IE browser, even if you do not use it at all, since the operation of some other programs that need Internet access, for example, Skype, depends on it. Let's move on to the instructions:

We pass on this official Microsoft resource. Scroll the page with the wheel to the column "Russian language". You can download another language pack, if you want to. In the row in the outermost cell, choose between the 32- and 64-bit version. Click on the corresponding link to download the installer.
Find the Russian language and download the version for "seven" or "eight" with the required bit depth
We find it in " Windows Explorer". Usually all files are downloaded to the "Downloads" directory, but if you have previously installed a different one, look for the file in it. Click on the file with the right mouse button and select "Run as administrator" in the list of options.
Click on the "Run as administrator" item in the context menu
Click on "Yes" to allow the installer to make changes on your device.
The automatic installation of the product will start (the new version over the old one). You will not need to take any action. We are waiting for the end of the process. During the procedure, the device will reboot several times.
Wait while the system installs the Internet Explorer 11 language pack
When the last restart occurs, a notification will appear on the screen that the program has been successfully updated. Launch IE and check its version: click on the gear-shaped icon in the upper right corner of the window and select the "About" item.
Click on the last "About" item in the IE 11 menu
In an additional small window, pay attention to the version number - there must be the number 11.
Make sure your PC is running the latest version of the standard browser - IE 11

Through the browser itself

The update can be carried out in the program itself, in particular, in the section with general information about it, where its version is indicated. Let's consider the upgrade again using the Yandex Browser as an example:

Left-click on the "hamburger" icon at the top in the right corner. In the list of various sections, hover the cursor over the last item "Additional". In the menu that appears to the left of the main one, click on the "About browser" option.
In the menu "Yandex Browser" select "Advanced", and then "About the browser"
The browser window will run new tab with a version number. If the utility needs an update, you will see the corresponding Update button. Feel free to click on it.
Click on the "Update" button, if it is in the section
Now we are waiting for the browser to download the new version and then install it.
Wait while the browser downloads and installs updates
During the installation process, the system will ask for permission to make changes. Click on "Yes".
Click "Yes" to allow Yandex Browser to make changes on your PC
When the procedure is over, the "Restart" button will appear. We must click on it. Changes will not take effect without a reboot.
Click on "Restart" to close the browser and then turn it on again
When the browser opens again, you will see the new version number in the upper left in the same internal "About browser" tab.
Check if the browser needs to be updated more in the "About" tab

Finding the corresponding section "About the browser" in Mozilla Firefox is no longer so easy, so we will describe the update process for the program and using this method:

We open the program menu through the already familiar icon with three parallel lines. In the menu, click on the penultimate item in the "Help" list.
In the "Mozilla" menu, click on "Help"
On the next page, click on "About Firefox".
In the next list, click on the item "About Firefox"
An additional window with information about the utility will open on top of the main window. The system will start searching for the update. We are waiting for its completion.
We are waiting for Firefox to finish looking for updates
If it is available, it will start downloading immediately. We do nothing - the program will do everything by itself.
If there are updates on the network, the browser system will immediately start downloading them.
When the download is complete, click on "Restart Firefox" to update.
Click on "Restart Firefox to update"
When you turn it on again, the installation of the downloaded updates will start. We are waiting for it to end.
Wait for the browser to install and configure Mozilla updates
When Firefox starts again, immediately go to the additional window to make sure that the browser no longer needs updates. The phrase "The latest version of Firefox is installed" must be present.
If "The latest version is installed" appears in the window, then there is no more update for this browser on the network

Through the "Update Center"

In the "Update Center" you can get an update only for built-in Windows components, so updates are only available here for Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. Let's look at the IE upgrade in the center with an example Windows environment 7:

Open the "Start" panel by clicking on the window-shaped icon at the left end of the "Taskbar" (through it you turn off the PC). In the search box, enter the query "Update Center" and open the section in the results.
In the center window, click on "Search for updates" and wait for the system to find the currently available update.
Wait for the system to finish searching for updates for the "operating system"
After that, click on "Important Updates".
In the list, we look at the presence of an item about Internet Explorer. If it is present, then the program really needs to be updated. It is advisable to leave all items checked. Click on OK.
See if there are updates for Internet Explorer in the list and click on OK
Now click on "Install Updates".
Click on the "Install Updates" button
The Center will require you to accept the terms of the agreement. We put a mark to the left of the corresponding item and click on "Finish".
Accept the agreement to run the updates
First, the system will independently create a restore point, which will allow, in the event of an unsuccessful update, to immediately rollback to the previous version of the system.
The system will first create a restore point in case of problems
After that, the installation will begin - we are waiting for completion and further instructions from the "operating system".
The process of installing system updates will take some time
When the procedure is completed, the system will ask you to reboot the device. We do this using the appropriate button in the window or through the Start menu.
Restart your PC using a special button or through "Start"
During the restart, the updates will be configured. The process will take some time. When the system starts, check that the version of the standard browser is up to date.

How to update the browser on your phone and tablet

Tablets and smartphones can work on different platforms: Android, iOS, Windows of different versions. In the latter case, updating the browser is no different from updating on a regular PC - you can use both the official website and the section "About the browser". It is also convenient to update the browser via Windows Store if it is there (some browsers are not included in the store, such as Google Chrome).

For Android devices

A store is built in gadgets based on "Android" Play apps Market is the official source of all mobile programs for this "operating system". It is from it that it is recommended to download all utilities, including browsers.

Like all other programs on Android, browsers are recommended to be downloaded from the Play Market

However, the store allows not only downloading and installing applications, but also updating them regularly, even in automatic mode. If you do not have an automatic update installed, do it manually as follows:

Video: how to update any Android application in the Play Market

For Apple gadgets

In "Ayonah" and "Aypads" there is also a store with programs - App Store... It allows you to upgrade mobile utilities both in automatic and manual mode:

Almost all modern browsers are able to update themselves without user intervention. However, sometimes the automatic update process can fail. In this case, it is still recommended to check from time to time whether the browser needs an update or not. The upgrade itself is not difficult to carry out - there are several ways to different devices... On a PC, you can do this in the section of the browser itself "About the browser" or through its official website (installing a new version over the old one). On "Androids" and "iPhones", the Play Market and App Store are available, respectively. In them, applications are not only downloaded, but also updated, and it is possible to set up an automatic update for everyone installed programs.

Smartphone under Android and iOS for many users is the main means of accessing the Internet. Convenient and safe use of the World Wide Web implies timely updating of browsers, and today we want to tell you how this is done.

There are several ways to update browsers on Android: through the Google Play Store or using an APK file manually. Each of the options has both advantages and disadvantages.

Method 1: Play Store

The main source of applications, including Internet browsers, on the Android OS is the Play Store. This platform is also responsible for updating installed programs. If you have disabled automatic updates, you can manually install the latest software version.

This method is the safest and most optimal, therefore we recommend using it.

Method 2: APK file

Many third-party firmware lacks Google applications and services, including Play Market. As a result, browser updates are not available with it. An alternative would be to use a third-party software store or manually update with an APK file.

Before starting the manipulations, make sure that the file manager is installed on the phone, and that the ability to install applications from third party sources... You can activate this function as follows:

Android 7.1.2 and below

Android 8.0 and above

Open up "Settings".

Select item "Apps and notifications".

Then tap on "Advanced settings".

Click on option "Special access".

Please select "Installing Unknown Applications".

Find in the list desired application and click on it. On the program page, use the switch "Allow installation from this source".

Now you can proceed directly to updating the browser.

This method is not very safe, but for browsers that for some reason are not available in the Play Store, it is the only one that is fully functional.

iOS

Operating system on which it runs Apple iPhone, is very different from Android, including the update capabilities.

Method 1: Install the latest software version

The default browser on iOS is Safari. This application it is tightly integrated into the system, therefore it can be updated only together with the firmware of the "apple" smartphone. There are several methods for installing the latest version. software iPhone; they are all covered in the guide provided at the link below.

Method 2: App Store

Third-party browsers for this operating system are updated via App App Store. As a rule, the procedure takes place in automatic mode, but if for some reason this did not happen, updates can be installed manually.

Mobile operating system from Apple for the end user in many ways easier Android, but this simplicity in some cases turns into limitations.

Method 3: iTunes

Another way to update a third-party browser on an iPhone is iTunes program... It is important to note that in newest versions of this complex, the ability to access the application store has been removed, therefore you will need to download and install outdated version iTunes 12.6.3. You can find everything you need for this purpose in the guide available at the link below.

Open iTunes, then connect the iPhone to the PC with a cable and wait for the device to be recognized by the program.

Find and open the section menu, in which select the item "Programs".

Go to the tab "Updates" and click on the button "Update all programs".

Wait until iTunes displays a message "All programs have been updated", then click on the button with the phone icon.

Click on item "Programs".

Find your browser in the list and click on the button "Refresh" located next to its name.

The text will change to "Will be updated" and then press Apply at the bottom of the working window of the program.

Wait for the synchronization procedure to complete.

At the end of the manipulation, disconnect the device from the computer.

The above method is not the most convenient or safe, but for outdated iPhone models this is the only way to get up-to-date versions of applications.

Solving Potential Problems

Updating a web browser on both Android and iOS is not always smooth; due to a variety of factors, it can cause crashes and malfunctions. Solving problems with Play Market a separate article on our website is devoted, therefore we recommend that you familiarize yourself with it.

On iPhone, an incorrectly installed update sometimes causes a system failure, due to which the phone may not turn on. We considered this problem in a separate article.

Conclusion

Timely updating of both the system as a whole and its components is very important from a security point of view: updates not only bring new capabilities, but also fix many vulnerabilities, improving protection against intruders.
