Switch browser version on Android devices

Switch browser versions during an active Live test session.

You can switch between different browser versions during an active Live test session on Android devices. This feature allows you to test your website’s compatibility across multiple browser versions without starting a new session.

This feature is available only under the Team Pro plan. For more details, check out our pricing page.

Supported platforms and browsers

The following platforms and browsers support switching browser versions:

Platform Browser
Android 13 and later Chrome

The Switch browser version feature is not supported for Live sessions on Motorola Android devices.

Supported browser versions

  • You can switch between the latest and the last 2 supported browser versions. For example, if the latest version is Chrome 142, you can switch to the two previously supported versions.

Switch browser version during a test session

To switch browser versions during your Live test session:

  1. Log in to the Live dashboard.
  2. Start a Live test session on an Android device.
  3. At the top of the session window, click the browser version drop-down.
    BrowserStack live test session with the browser version dropdown highlighted.
  4. In the dropdown, select the browser version you want to test. The browser restarts with the selected version.
    Browser version dropdown with different browser versions listed.

Switching browser versions may take up to 30 seconds.
If the switch is unsuccessful, an error message is displayed in the session window and the browser remains on the current version.

Switch browser versions in multi-device testing

When testing on multiple devices simultaneously, you can use different browser versions on each device:

  1. Start a multi-device test session with Android devices.
  2. Use the switch browser version option for each device to select the browser version.
    Multi-device testing session with different browser versions selected for each device.

When you add a device to a multi-device session, it will start with the latest browser version by default, regardless of which version the first device is using.
