To update an app on your iPhone, you can do it manually or enable automatic updates. Here's how:

Manually update apps on iPhone

  1. Open the App Store app.
  2. Tap your profile icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Scroll down to the "Available Updates" section.
  4. Tap Update next to the app you want to update, or tap Update All to update all apps at once

Enable automatic app updates

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Scroll down and tap App Store.
  3. Under "Automatic Downloads," toggle on App Updates.
    This will allow your iPhone to automatically download and install app updates when they become available, usually when your phone is charging and connected to Wi-Fi

Additional tips

  • You can also search for a specific app in the App Store and tap Update if an update is available
  • If an app is not updating properly, you can try offloading and reinstalling it via Settings > General > iPhone Storage, which can clear cache and refresh the app

Keeping your apps updated ensures you get the latest features, security patches, and better performance on your iPhone
