更新Google Chrome带来了巨大的好处:改进的浏览体验、更好的安全性、新功能、错误修复等。遗憾的是,数百名 Android 用户(hundreds of Android users)因为无法安装 Chrome 更新(cannot install Chrome updates)而错过了这些好处。
在本指南中,我们将详尽介绍如果Google Chrome未在您的Android智能手机或平板电脑上更新时要遵循的故障排除步骤。首先(First),我们应该提到取消并重新启动更新可以解决问题。然后,如果Chrome(Chrome)更新一直失败或陷入无休止的“待处理”循环(stuck in the unending “Pending” loop),请继续执行下面列出的解决方案。
检查您的互联网连接
从Play 商店(Play Store)更新应用程序需要通过蜂窝数据或Wi-Fi 连接(Wi-Fi)互联网。如果Play 商店(Play Store)不会更新其他应用程序,则说明问题很可能与您的网络连接、Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)或其他系统组件有关。“测试”您的互联网连接的一种快速方法是启动您的网络浏览器并检查您是否能够打开网页。或者,打开其他依赖互联网的应用程序并检查它们是否有效。
其他与网络相关的故障排除步骤包括关闭VPN连接/应用程序、启用和禁用飞行模式(enabling and disabling airplane mode)以及重新启动 Wi-Fi 路由器。如果您使用蜂窝数据,请切换到无线连接并再次更新Chrome。
如果问题是特定于Google Chrome的,强制关闭浏览器或清除其数据应该会有所帮助。但在此之前,请确保您的设备上有正确的日期和时间信息。
检查日期和时间设置
您设备的日期和时间必须准确,才能从Play 商店(Play Store)安装应用程序。因此,如果您无法更新Play 商店(Play Store)应用,请确认您设备的日期和时间信息是最新的。
转到设置(Settings)>系统(System)>日期和时间(Date & time)并打开这些选项:使用网络提供的时间(Use network-provided time)和使用网络提供的时区(Use network-provided time zone)。
取消挂起的下载或更新
(Play Store)如果后台有其他正在进行的下载,Play 商店将暂停您的Chrome更新。(Chrome)要立即更新Chrome,请取消Play Store的待处理队列中的其他下载。
- 打开 Play 商店,然后点击右上角的帐户头像(account picture)。
- 选择管理应用程序和设备(Manage apps and device)。
- 在“概述”部分中,选择可用更新(Updates available)。
- 点击全部取消(Cancel all)。
强制关闭谷歌浏览器
如果浏览器冻结或无响应(browser is freezing or unresponsive),您可能无法从Play 商店更新(Play Store)Chrome。在Play 商店(Play Store)取消更新并按照以下步骤强制关闭Chrome。
- 长按Google Chrome应用程序图标并点击信息🛈 图标(info 🛈 icon)。
- 点击强制关闭(Force Close)图标。
- 选择确定(OK)继续。
前往Play 商店的(Play Store)Google Chrome页面,检查是否可以更新浏览器。
强制关闭(Force Close)并重新启动(Relaunch)Play商店(Play Store)
尽管Play Store是一个应用程序仓库,但它也是一个应用程序——一个也会出现故障的应用程序。因此,当Play 商店(Play Store)出现问题并且Chrome没有更新时,强制停止商店可以使其恢复正常。
- 点击(Tap)并按住Play 商店(Play Store)应用程序图标,然后点击信息 🛈 图标(info 🛈 icon)。
- 点击强制停止(Force Stop)并在确认提示中选择确定。(OK)
- 点击打开(Open)以重新启动 Play 商店。

如果仍然无法更新Chrome,请清除浏览器的缓存文件,然后重试。有关详细步骤,请参阅下一节。
清除缓存文件
删除应用程序的临时文件(Deleting an app’s temporary files)(或缓存(Cache)文件)将释放设备上的存储空间并解决性能故障。因此,如果Chrome没有从Play Store更新,请清除Play Store的缓存文件。对Android 下载管理器(Android Download Manager)和Google Play 服务(Services)等其他系统应用执行相同操作。
清除 Play 商店的缓存(Clear Play Store’s Cache)
在您的设备上关闭 Google Chrome(Close Google Chrome)并按照以下步骤操作。
- 点击(Tap)并按住Play 商店(Play Store)应用程序图标,然后点击信息 🛈 图标(info 🛈 icon)。

- 点按清除缓存(Clear cache)可删除您设备上 Chrome 的所有临时数据。
再次尝试从Play 商店(Play Store)更新Chrome并检查您这次是否成功。否则,清除Google Play服务的缓存数据。
清除 Google Play 服务的缓存(Clear Google Play Service’s Cache)
这样做将解决(fix Google Play issues)阻止Play 商店(Play Store)更新Chrome或其他应用程序的 Google Play 问题。
- 转到设置(Settings)>应用和通知(Apps & notifications)>应用信息(App info)(或查看所有应用)(See all apps)) > Google Play 服务(Google Play services)。
- 选择存储和缓存(Storage & cache)。
- 点击清除缓存(Clear cache)。
清除下载管理器的缓存(Clear Download Manager’s Cache)
下载管理器(Download Manager)是一种系统服务,可促进内置Android应用程序的下载。如果下载管理器出现问题,您可能会在(Download Manager)Play Store上安装或更新应用程序时遇到问题。
但是,通常清除下载管理器的缓存可以解决这些问题。取消(Cancel)任何挂起的应用下载,关闭Play 商店(Play Store),然后按照以下步骤操作。
- 进入设置(Settings)>应用和通知(Apps & notifications)>查看所有应用(See All Apps),点击右上角的菜单图标,然后选择显示系统(Show system)。

- 打开应用程序的信息页面,点击右上角的三点菜单图标,然后选择卸载更新(Uninstall updates)。
- 在确认提示中点击确定。(OK)
- 返回到Play Store上的 Chrome 页面,然后点击更新(Update)。

Chrome Not Updating on Android? Here’s How to Fix
Updating Google Chrome comes with immense benefіts: improved browsing experienсe, better security, nеw features, bug fixes, etc. Sadly, hundreds of Android users miss out on these benefits because they cannot install Chrome updates.
In this guide, we’ll exhaustively cover troubleshooting steps to follow if Google Chrome is not updating on your Android smartphone or tablet. First, we should mention that canceling and restarting the update can fix the problem. Then, proceed to the solutions listed below if the Chrome update keeps failing or gets stuck in the unending “Pending” loop.
Check Your Internet Connection
Updating apps from the Play Store requires an internet connection, either via cellular data or Wi-Fi. If the Play Store won’t update other apps, that tells you the problem is most likely with your network connection, the Google Play Store, or other system components. A quick way to “test” your internet connection is to launch your web browser and check if you’re able to open web pages. Or, open other internet-dependent apps and check if they work.
Other network-related troubleshooting steps include turning off your VPN connection/app, enabling and disabling airplane mode, and rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Switch to a wireless connection if you’re using cellular data and update Chrome again.
If the problem is specific to Google Chrome, force-closing the browser or clearing its data should help. But before then, make sure you have the correct date and time information on your device.
Check Date and Time Settings
Your device’s date and time must be accurate to install apps from the Play Store. So if you can’t update Play Store apps, confirm that your device’s date and time information are up-to-date.
Go to Settings > System > Date & time and toggle on these options: Use network-provided time and Use network-provided time zone.
Cancel Pending Downloads or Updates
Play Store will suspend your Chrome update if there are other ongoing downloads in the background. To immediately update Chrome, cancel other downloads in Play Store’s pending queue.
- Open Play Store and tap your account picture at the top-right corner.
- Select Manage apps and device.
- In the “Overview” section, select Updates available.
- Tap Cancel all.
Force Close Google Chrome
You might be unable to update Chrome from the Play Store if the browser is freezing or unresponsive. Cancel the update on the Play Store and follow the steps below to force-close Chrome.
- Long-press the Google Chrome app icon and tap the info 🛈 icon.
- Tap the Force Close icon.
- Select OK to proceed.
Head to the Google Chrome page on the Play Store and check if you can update the browser.
Force Close and Relaunch the Play Store
Despite being an application warehouse, the Play Store is an app—an application that also malfunctions. So when something goes wrong with the Play Store and Chrome is not updating, force-stopping the store could restore it to normalcy.
- Tap and hold the Play Store app icon and tap the info 🛈 icon.
- Tap Force Stop and select OK on the confirmation prompt.
- Tap Open to relaunch the Play Store.
- Open the Chrome app details page, tap the Update button and wait till you get a success message.
If you still can’t update Chrome, clear the browser’s cache files and try again. See the next section for detailed steps.
Clear Cache Files
Deleting an app’s temporary files (or Cache files) will free up storage space on your device and resolve performance glitches. So if Chrome is not updating from the Play Store, clear the Play Store’s cache files. Do the same for other system apps like the Android Download Manager and Google Play Services.
Clear Play Store’s Cache
Close Google Chrome on your device and follow the steps below.
- Tap and hold the Play Store app icon and tap the info 🛈 icon.
- Select Storage & cache.
- Tap Clear cache to delete all of Chrome’s temporary data on your device.
Try updating Chrome from the Play Store again and check if you strike gold this time. Otherwise, clear the Google Play service’s cache data.
Clear Google Play Service’s Cache
Doing this will fix Google Play issues preventing the Play Store from updating Chrome or other applications.
- Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > App info (or See all apps) > Google Play services.
- Select Storage & cache.
- Tap Clear cache.
Clear Download Manager’s Cache
The Download Manager is a system service that facilitates downloads on built-in Android apps. If there’s a problem with the Download Manager, you might encounter issues installing or updating apps on the Play Store.
Often, however, clearing the Download Manager’s cache will solve these issues. Cancel any pending app download, close the Play Store, and follow the steps below.
- Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See All Apps, tap the menu icon at the top-right corner, and select Show system.
- Scroll through the apps and select Download Manager.
- Select Storage & cache.
- Tap the Clear Cache icon.
Launch the Play Store and try updating Chrome again.
Restart Your Device
Do this if all troubleshooting steps so far have proved abortive. Hold your device’s power button and select Restart on the power menu.
Uninstall Previous Chrome Updates
Chrome is a system app that’s built into the Android OS, so it cannot be removed or uninstalled. However, there’s an option to uninstall all previous updates made to the browser. That’ll revert the app to the factory version and possibly resolve issues preventing Play Store from updating the browser.
- Open the app’s info page, tap the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner and select Uninstall updates.
- Tap OK on the confirmation prompt.
- Return to Chrome’s page on the Play Store and tap Update.
Clear Google Chrome’s App Data
Several Chrome users in this Google Support thread resolved the issue by deleting Chrome’s data from their devices. Try that and see if it helps.
- Open Chrome’s app info page on your device and select Storage & cache.
- Tap the Clear Storage icon.
- Tap Clear All Data.
- Tap OK to proceed.
Note: Clearing Chrome’s data will delete your browsing history, site cookies, and other locally stored data.

Before you proceed, we recommend going through this article on installing Android apps using APK files. You’ll learn how to properly sideload Chrome from an outside source as well as the risks involved.
