Update Play Store and Galaxy Store apps on the phone

Note10 with updates available in Galaxy Store

Sometimes app developers will release updates to fix bugs, make improvements, or just give a general tune-up. Keeping your apps updated is the best way to make sure you always have the latest features and the best performance. You don't have to worry about keeping track of updates for every single app on your phone, however. You can turn on auto-updates and let it do it for you.

Update apps from the Galaxy Store

Galaxy Apps has exclusive content made just for Samsung devices. You will need to update these apps separately from your Play Store apps.

Open Galaxy Store, tap More Options, and then tap My page. Tap Update. From here, you can either tap the arrow next to individual apps to update one at a time, or tap Update all to install all available updates.

Uninstall app updates

If an app updates, but you like the old version better, you can uninstall the update to go back to the previous version.

Navigate to Settings, and then tap apps. Find and tap the app you want to roll back, and then tap More Options in the upper right corner. Tap Uninstall updates.

Note: This option is only available for some preinstalled apps.
