Automatic Updates (Recommended):

To ensure you always have the latest version, enable automatic updates:

  • iOS: In Settings, go to App Store, and toggle on "App Updates."
  • Android: In the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, then "Settings," then "Network preferences," then "Auto-update apps." Choose your preferred option (e.g., "Over Wi-Fi only").

Troubleshooting:

  • No Update Available: If you don't see an update, it might be because you already have the latest version, or the update is being rolled out gradually in your region. Try again later.
  • Update Won't Install: Check your internet connection and device storage. Close other apps and try updating again.
