In this digital day and age, you\u2019ve most definitely got a lot of apps installed on your devices. In fact, we bet you even have some you no longer use! With so much going on, regular reminders to update all these apps can become yet another distraction and sometimes even a nuisance.<\/p>\n

Why do I receive so many reminders to update my apps?
<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Technology is constantly evolving and so app developers are continually working to provide you the best experience possible. An update may be something routine such as small bug fixes or general improvements. However some may include bigger improvements based on suggestions from real customer feedback (at Qustodio we listen to what you have to say!). Sometimes updates even contain exciting new features for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Remove the distractions and stay up-to-date<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To really get the most out of your apps, we can\u2019t stress how important it is to keep them updated to the latest version. However, we do realize these constant reminders can become a bit of a pain. That\u2019s why we recommend enabling automatic updates. It\u2019s simple, available on Android and iOS devices, and once you set it up you won\u2019t have to do anything else, except enjoy your apps at their best!<\/p>\n

How to configure automatic updates on your and your kids\u2019 devices<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you are using an Android or iOS device, we\u2019ve got you covered. Just follow our 5 simple steps<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n

How to set up automatic updates on an Android<\/strong> device:<\/p>\n

1. Open the Play Store app on your device.<\/p>\n

2. Tap the menu in the search bar (three horizontal lines or \u2018hamburger\u2019, as it\u2019s sometimes called).<\/p>\n

3. Tap Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. Tap Auto-update apps<\/strong>. Choose whether you want apps to update over your network (which will use data) or over Wi-Fi (which means apps will only update automatically when your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network).<\/p>\n

5. Tap Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s as simple as that! Now you can be sure you\u2019re not using an older version and enjoy your apps to the fullest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
