Update problems are distinct from installation errors — they occur when you already have the app installed and try to upgrade to a newer version. These issues can prevent new features from appearing, cause crashes, or leave the app in an unstable state.

This guide covers the specific problems that arise during the update process and provides tested solutions for each scenario.

Types of update problems

Update issues fall into three main categories, each requiring different approaches to fix:

Update Fails
Update doesn't install at all, shows error message
⚠️
Incomplete Update
Update installs but app doesn't work properly
🔄
Version Conflict
Old and new versions clash, causing instability
📱
Post-Update Issues
App works but has problems after updating

Why does the 1xBet APK update fail?

Update failures have specific, identifiable causes. Understanding the root cause helps apply the correct fix:

Cause Frequency Symptom
Insufficient storage space Very Common Update fails partway through
Signature mismatch Common "Package conflict" error
Corrupted update file Occasional "Parse error" or crashes
Android version too old Occasional "App not compatible"
Network interruption Occasional Incomplete download
Background app interference Rare Update hangs or freezes

Problem: Update doesn't install at all

Update Installation Failure

New version won't install over existing app

Symptoms

Error message appears Installation stops midway "App not installed" Old version remains

✓ Solution

1
Check storage space: Need at least 200 MB free (Settings → Storage)
2
Clear the old app's cache: Settings → Apps → 1xBet → Storage → Clear Cache
3
Download the new APK file again (ensure complete download)
4
If still failing, uninstall the old version completely, then install fresh

Problem: Update installs but app doesn't work properly

⚠️

Incomplete or Corrupted Update

Update appears to succeed but causes issues

Symptoms

App won't open Freezes on startup Crashes immediately Features missing Blank screens

✓ Solution

1
Force stop the app: Settings → Apps → 1xBet → Force Stop
2
Clear both cache AND data: Storage → Clear Cache → Clear Data
3
Restart your device
4
Open the app and log in again
5
If still not working, uninstall and reinstall from scratch

Note: Clearing app data will log you out. Make sure you know your account credentials before proceeding.

Problem: Version conflict (signature mismatch)

🔄

Package Signature Conflict

Old version incompatible with new update

Symptoms

"Signatures do not match" "Package conflict" "Cannot update"

✓ Solution

1
This error requires a clean installation — the old version must be removed
2
Uninstall the existing 1xBet app: Settings → Apps → 1xBet → Uninstall
3
Restart your device to clear any residual data
4
Download and install the latest APK version

Why does this happen? Signature conflicts occur when the APK was downloaded from a different source than the original installation, or when significant internal changes require a fresh install.

What happens if the update does not install correctly?

Incomplete updates can manifest in various ways. Here's how to identify what went wrong:

🔍 Symptom → Likely Cause
App opens but shows old interface Update didn't actually install
App crashes on specific screens Corrupted update file
Login works but betting fails Server compatibility issue
App loads but hangs on splash screen Cached data conflict
"Update required" message persists Wrong version installed

For issues that persist after updating, see the comprehensive guide on 1xBet APK not working and common fixes.

Should you reinstall the app if update problems continue?

🤔 Decision Guide: Update vs. Reinstall

Try to Update Again

Keep the existing installation and attempt the update

When: First failure, minor issues, want to keep app data

Before reinstalling, check that your device meets requirements on the Android compatibility page.

Are update problems related to old versions?

Yes, the age of your current installation significantly affects update success:

For information about older releases and their limitations, see the page about old versions of the 1xBet APK.

Best practice: Update regularly (monthly) rather than waiting long periods. Small, frequent updates are much less likely to cause problems than large jumps between versions.
