Manual updating means downloading and installing a newer APK file yourself, rather than relying on automatic updates. This gives you control over when and how you update the app.

The process is similar to initial installation — your account data and settings are preserved during the update.

Do you need to uninstall the old version first?

In most cases, no. The new APK installs over the existing app, preserving your data. However, there are situations where uninstalling first is recommended:

📋 Uninstall Decision Guide
✓ Keep installed (just update)
  • Normal update from previous version

  • Updating to next sequential version
⚠️ Uninstall first (clean install)
