How to update Edge

Updating is free, takes about a minute, and your open tabs are safe.

On your computer

  2. Choose Help and feedback, then About Microsoft Edge.
  3. Edge checks for updates by itself. If an update is offered, click Download and install.
  4. Click Restart. Your tabs come back automatically.

Shortcut: type edge://settings/help into the address bar and press Enter to open the same page.

On iPhone and iPad

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Tap your profile picture at the top right.
  3. Scroll down to the list of available updates.
  4. Tap Update next to Microsoft Edge, or Update All.

On iPhone and iPad, every browser uses the web engine that ships with iOS, so it also helps to keep iOS itself up to date: Settings, then General, then Software Update.
