More and more Android users in Russia report that they encounter errors when trying to upgrade Chrome browser. The number of complaints is increasing every day, but so far, the cause of the problem is still unknown and has not been solved According to many user comments on Russian news agencies and the play store, these questions began on May 9, 2022, when Google released chrome 101 for Android.
Those who try to install the latest version get an error saying "fail to install Google Chrome". This information further suggests that the user try again. If there is no help, you can follow the troubleshooting tips.
Google has announced that from May 5, 2022, Russian users and developers will be banned from downloading or updating paid apps from the play store. However, chrome is free, so it should be outside this new policy.
In addition, the error message does not specify the reason for the failure of the update, whether it is due to sanctions or technical problems. Meanwhile, Google's support agent on the play store suggested that Russian users find a solution in the discussion of the support community.
