Install and manage apps on your Samsung Chromebook

Note: Google Play Store is only available on 2017 models or later. Not all Android apps are available on Chromebooks.

Newer Chromebooks can use many of the same Android apps you use on your phone! For example, maybe you want to check out that new game everyone is talking about. As long as your Chromebook supports the Play Store and the desired app is compatible, you can download it! 

If you paid for an app on another device, you can reinstall it on your Chromebook. Open the Play Store and select Menu. Select My apps & games, and then select LIBRARY. Select INSTALL next to the desired app.

Even if your Chromebook is not compatible with the Play Store, you can still download certain apps from the Chrome Web Store. There are all kinds of apps that work with the Chrome OS.

To uninstall apps you no longer want or use, navigate to and open Settings. Select Apps in the left-side menu, and then select Manage your apps. Select the app you would like to remove, and then select Uninstall. Select Uninstall one more time to confirm.

Installing app updates will keep your apps running smoothly when you need to use them. You can update apps individually or all at once to save time.

You can check an app’s current version as well. Select the Launcher, and then select All Apps. Use two fingers to select the desired app, and then select App info. The app version will be located below the app's name.
