How to Turn Off Google Chrome Automatic Updates To Save Data and Power

Support for automatic updates on the Google Chrome application is quite important, but unfortunately sometimes we really need to disable it for a number of reasons.

Google is a company that is diligent in updating its various applications. The goal is of course to add new features or improve existing support such as in the security aspect.

With automatic update support, we don’t need to check regularly. As long as the device is connected to an internet network, be it WiFi or cellular (depending on the settings), the app will update itself.

Automatic updates are also available for Google’s browser app, Chrome. Therefore, we can enjoy various kinds of online content comfortably and safely without being bothered by checking the availability of the new version.

But it is undeniable that a number of conditions sometimes force us to turn off the automatic update option. Fortunately, in the Chrome application, we can do this very easily even though it varies for each device.
