How to block Chrome auto-update on Android

Unfortunately, new versions of apps are not always better and faster. That is why you may need to disable the updates of a specific app.

Note, that these steps are not a solution in any case. The guide can serve as only a temporary workaround. We don’t recommend neither blocking app updates nor using old app versions.

How to Prevent Chrome from Auto-Updating on Android

Follow the steps on your phone or tablet.
