How to check the Microsoft Edge version?

To check your Microsoft Edge version, type edge://settings/help in the address bar and press Enter, or open the three-dot Settings and more menu and go to Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge. Your version, for example 149.0.4022.69, appears at the top of the page, and Edge automatically checks for and downloads any available updates. The same About page is the reliable source on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

The fastest way - edge://settings/help

The quickest route to the version number on any desktop platform is the address bar. You do not need to dig through menus.

• Click the address bar at the top of the Edge window.
• Type edge://settings/help and press Enter.
• The About Microsoft Edge page opens and displays the version, for example Microsoft Edge - Version 149.0.4022.69 (Official build) (64-bit).

Opening this page also triggers an automatic update check, so it both tells you the current build and pulls in the latest one if an update is waiting.

Check the Edge version on Windows

On Windows 10 and Windows 11, the menu path mirrors the address-bar shortcut and is handy if you prefer clicking through the UI.

• Click the Settings and more button (the three-dot menu) at the top-right of the window. You can also press Alt + E to open it.
• Hover over Help and feedback, then click About Microsoft Edge.
• Read the version line at the top of the page. The (64-bit) or (32-bit) tag confirms the architecture of your install.

Check the Edge version on macOS

On a Mac you can use the same in-browser path, or the native menu bar. With Edge in focus, click Microsoft Edge in the top menu bar and choose About Microsoft Edge. The same version string appears, and updates are delivered through Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) rather than the browser alone.

Check the Edge version on Linux

On Linux distributions, the in-browser route is identical:

• Open the three-dot menu and select Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge.
• Or type edge://settings/help in the address bar.

If you prefer the terminal, you can also query the installed package directly:

• microsoft-edge-stable --version prints the build of the Stable channel.
• Use the matching binary name (for example microsoft-edge-beta) to query a non-Stable channel.

Check the Edge version on Android

The mobile apps follow the same logic with a slightly different menu layout.

• Open the Microsoft Edge app and tap the three-dot menu at the bottom of the screen.
• Tap Settings.
• Scroll to and open About Microsoft Edge to see the version number.

You can cross-check the installed build in the Google Play Store under the app's details, though the in-app About screen is the most direct source.

Check the Edge version on iPhone and iPad

On iOS and iPadOS, follow these steps:

• Open the Microsoft Edge app.
• Tap the three-dot menu.
• Choose Settings.
• Scroll down to About Microsoft Edge.

The version listed in the in-app About screen is the reliable figure, since App Store version details can lag behind a recent in-app update.

How to read the Edge version string

A version such as 149.0.4022.69 follows the Chromium four-part scheme of major.minor.build.patch:

• 149: The major version, which tracks the Chromium-based Edge release and bumps with each feature cycle.
• 0: The minor version, almost always zero for Edge.
• 4022: The build number for that release.
• 69: The patch or revision, incremented for the security and bug fixes shipped between feature releases.

The same line also tells you whether you are on a 32-bit or 64-bit build and whether it is an (Official build) or a Dev/Canary build, which is useful when you report a bug and need to state your exact environment.

How to update Microsoft Edge to the latest version

Edge updates itself in the background. The simplest manual nudge is to open About Microsoft Edge: doing so triggers a check, downloads any newer build, and then prompts you to click Restart to finish applying it. As of June 2026, the Stable channel sits around the 149.x build, and Microsoft is shifting Stable to roughly a two-week update cadence from Edge 152, which means new builds will arrive more frequently than before. On managed machines, administrators may control updates through enterprise policy, and on macOS through Microsoft AutoUpdate.

Why your Edge version matters for cross-browser testing

Knowing your own Edge version is only half the picture. Your users are spread across many versions and channels, and a fix that works on the newest Stable build can still break on an older one or behave differently on Beta. That is why teams verify their sites and web apps across multiple Edge versions and operating systems rather than just the one installed locally.

Installing several Edge builds side by side on a single machine is awkward and time-consuming. Instead, you can run your site on real Microsoft Edge browsers across versions and operating systems in the cloud with Test on Microsoft Edge Browser, both live and through automation, so you can confirm behavior on the exact builds your audience actually uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the latest version of Microsoft Edge?

As of June 2026, the Edge Stable channel is around the 149.x build. Microsoft is moving Stable to a roughly two-week update cadence from Edge 152, while Extended Stable stays on a longer cycle. Open About Microsoft Edge to confirm the exact build your browser is running.
