Google's Chrome web browser was the first web browser to provide automatic updates. This was something of a revolution, because prior to this, it was the user's responsibility to update their web browser. This usually meant that only the most vigilant and technically savvy users had up to date web browsers.
Having an up to date web browser is vital to having a safe and fully-featured web experience and Chrome's auto-update feature facilitates this very easily.
In most cases - actually, unless you have specifically disabled it - Chrome will check for updates every couple of hours and automatically update itself.
What if Chrome is not already auto-updating?
If you are being told that Chrome is out of date (our homepage will tell you if Chrome is out of date) then in most cases you just need to wait a few hours and Chrome will auto update itself.
If this doesn't occur, it's possible that:
Your computer's firewall is preventing Chrome from checking if there are updates
Your employer has blocked Chrome from auto-updating
You (or someone else) has configured your Chrome to not auto-update
