How to Manually Update Apps on a Samsung smart TV

We’ll go over how to programme your TV to automatically update applications later on, but let’s assume you haven’t previously done so (otherwise, why are you reading this?). Follow these steps to browse to your app manually and check for and install any updates that may be available to you.

Step 1: From your Samsung TV’s home screen, find and pick the Apps menu from the drop-down list. Here you’ll see all of the applications that have been installed on your television, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and others.

Step 2: Choose one of the applications you’d like to examine and click on it. If the app is up to current, a button that says Open will appear when the information about the app is displayed in the window that opens. If an update is available, the button will indicate

Update, which you might predict from the name. When you click on it, the update will automatically download and install itself. Adding and removing apps from the home screen menu may also be done through this menu.

How to Set your Samsung TVs apps to Automatically update

We recommend that, as much fun as it is to update your apps, you set up your Samsung smart TV to automatically check for and update any new applications. It’s also really straightforward. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: From your Samsung TV’s home screen, locate and pick the TV’s Apps menu, and then, in the upper right corner of the screen, click the Settings gear icon.

Step 2: From your Samsung TV’s home screen, locate and select the TV’s Settings menu.

Step 3: After that, you’ll notice an Auto Update button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Check to see that the switch is in the On position – it will be a bright blue hue. When a new version is ready, your applications will be updated automatically, allowing you to devote your attention to the Yellowjackets’ season finale instead.
