Google Chrome for Android is making the jump from 64-bit to 32-bit architecture – a move which comes a full six years since Android itself started to support 64-bit apps and which should ensure improved security and performance in the mobile browser.

The change won't be rolling out for everyone, however – the 64-bit version of Google Chrome will only be available to those running Android 10 or later, so you might have to wait for a software update on your phone before you can take advantage of Google's behind-the-scenes upgrade.

According to Android Police, some users are seeing the 64-bit version of the browser appear in an update to the beta version of Chrome 84, though this doesn't seem to apply to everyone, and there doesn't appear to be any reliable way of forcing it to happen.

The vast majority of smartphones now come running 64-bit processors, and Google is requiring all apps to have support for 64-bit architecture by August 2021!

Apple, meanwhile, has been making 64-bit apps mandatory since the arrival of iOS 11 in 2017, though with more control over the hardware devices running iOS and the software available on it, it's a little easier for Apple to do.
