Chrome, Google's Internet browser, has been updated to offer an offline mode. In the mobile version for Android, this is a huge advantage, since you can continue reading and reviewing websites even if you don't have coverage.
You can also "browse offline" through pages downloaded with WiFi so you don't spend data away from home. We tell you how to do it step by step.
This is how Chrome's offline mode works on Android
The first thing you need to do to enjoy this feature is to update Chrome for Android to the latest version. You can do it from Google Play.
The next step is to open the browser and choose the page you want to download to view offline As the download can weigh several megabytes in function of the web, we recommend that you do it taking advantage of the WiFi connection. In this way the process will be faster and you will not spend data from your mobile rate.
Once the website has loaded, you have to click on the menu button (the three dots in the upper right corner) . A list of Chrome options will be displayed.
In that menu, click on the download button at the top (a little arrow pointing downwards). Chrome will begin downloading that page and display a notification when finished.
At any time you can access the "Downloads" section within the Chrome menu to access the pages you have saved. When you are using offline mode, the text "Offline" will appear next to the URL.
How to delete downloaded pages that you no longer need
You can delete the pages you no longer need from the "Downloads" section of the Chrome menu. Hold down one of the websites and a delete icon will appear in the upper right corner.
You can also select multiple pages at once to clear them all at once when you want to clean up Chrome.
