Add the Google Chrome app to Intune
In this post I will show you how to add Google Chrome application to Intune. You can use the same procedure to add other available android apps in Intune.
After you approve the app, you can then use an Intune app configuration policy to configure Google Chrome for Android devices. The settings for the app can be automatically applied.
First of all you must connect your Intune tenant account to your Managed Google Play account. I am not going to cover this in this post but I will publish a separate post on that soon.
Secondly the user’s Android Enterprise device must be enrolled in Intune. To enroll your android device to Intune, please read this post.

Use the below steps to add Google Chrome android app to Microsoft Intune.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin Center.
- Select Apps > All apps > Add. Next add the Managed Google Play app.
