Apps update

Apps are the heart of any smartphone, allowing you to perform different tasks. App developers are constantly trying to give you the best experience possible, so they are frequently working on improvements.

This is why we recommend you to regularly update all your apps, especially if you experience issues like apps freezing, slowing down or crashing.

Update apps from Google Play Store

If you downloaded apps from Google Play Store, you can set them to update automatically.

Open the Play Store, go to Menu and select Settings. Here tap Auto-update apps and choose one of the available options, according to your needs.

If you want to update apps manually, open the Play Store, go to Menu and tap My apps & games. A list of the available updates will appear.

Tap Update next to an individual app to install its latest version or touch Update all to download and install the latest version for all apps.

Update apps from HUAWEI AppGallery

If you downloaded apps from the HUAWEI AppGallery, you can set them to update automatically.

Open HUAWEI AppGallery and tap Manager at the bottom of the screen. Here select Updates and make sure Auto-update over Wi-Fi is enabled.

Now the latest version of your apps will be downloaded and installed automatically when the battery level is above 30% and the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi while charging.

For some apps automatic update is recommended; you can find them in the UPDATE RECOMMENDED section.

There is also a reminder at the bottom of the page, showing you how much data is needed to update these apps. Tap the reminder to auto-update these apps or select only the apps you want to update constantly.

These updates will be downloaded and installed when your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.
