Knowing the version of an app on your Android device can be important for troubleshooting, ensuring compatibility, or checking for updates. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to find the version number of any app installed on your Android phone or tablet.
Check the App Version from Settings
You can easily find the version number of any app through your device’s Settings.
Note: This may vary slightly depending on your device.
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Scroll down and tap on Apps.
- Find and tap on the app whose version you want to check.
- The app version will appear after you select the app you want.
Check the App Version in the Google Play Store
If you prefer, you can also check the app version directly in the Google Play Store.
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Use the search bar to find the app you want to check.
- Scroll down the app's page and tap on About this app (you may need to tap on the three dots in the upper-right corner if the section isn't immediately visible).
- Scroll down further and you’ll find the version number listed under the Version section.
Check the App’s About Page
Some apps include the version number on their own About or Settings pages. This can vary depending on the app, but it’s often easy to find.
- Open the app whose version you want to check.
- Look for an About, Help, Support, or Settings section, typically in the menu or under the three-dot menu icon (⁝) at the top-right corner.
- Once in the appropriate section, look for the version number, which may be listed as App Version, Version Info, or simply Version.
