How to update Flash Player on Mac (if it's already installed) Instead of downloading anything from a popup, follow simple steps to check whether you really need to update Adobe Flash on Mac. Go to the Apple menu and click System Preferences. In the bottom left corner, choose Flash Player. Choose the Updates tab. Click the Check Now button. Adobe® Flash® Player is a lightweight browser plug-in and rich Internet application runtime that delivers consistent and engaging user experiences, stunning audio/video playback, and exciting gameplay. Installed on more than 1.3 billion systems, Flash Player is the standard for delivering high-impact, rich Web content. Need to Keep Flash Content for When the Flash Player Is Gone? Adobe is putting an end to development on the Flash Player. By the end of 2020, Adobe will no longer offer the Flash Player download. If you have favorite Flash-based content, now is the time to download and save it to your computer.

Adobe Flash Player has been a blight on the internet for more years than most people care to think about, but its days are finally numbered.

We've known for a number of years that the software is reaching end of life (EOL) at the end of this year, and Adobe will stop distributing it after this date. But Adobe is going further, and will soon start to prompt people to uninstall Flash Player from their computers.

Flash Player has been much-maligned for a long time thanks to numerous security problems. The software has managed to stick around for years because of the number of sites that embraced the technology. But Flash Player's days are now very much numbered as Adobe explains on a support page entitled 'Adobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page'.

This free Mac app is a product of Macromedia. The application is sometimes distributed under different names, such as 'Flash Player Old', 'Flash Player Older', 'Flash Player-Intel'. The most popular versions among Flash Player for Mac users are 13.0, 11.4 and 11.2. Adobe's Flash Player has always suffered from a seemingly never-ending stream of critical vulnerabilities that have exposed Mac and PC users to malware and other security risks.

As previously announced in July 2017, Adobe will stop distributing and updating Flash Player after December 31, 2020 ('EOL Date'). We made this announcement in collaboration with several of our technology partners -- Including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla -- which issued complementary announcements with more technical detail on what the Flash Player EOL will mean for developers, enterprises, and consumers using their specific OS environments or browsers.

As well as being unsupported, there will be no point in having the software installed when 2021 rolls around:

Adobe will be removing Flash Player download pages from its site and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.

But to make sure that the insecure software does not stick around on too many computers, Adobe is going to start aggressively suggesting removal. The company explains:

Adobe will not issue Flash Player updates or security patches after the EOL Date. We recommend that all users uninstall Flash Player before the EOL date (see manual uninstall instructions for Windows and Mac users). Users will be prompted by Adobe to uninstall Flash Player on their machines later this year and Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.
