How do I update the AlterMe App on my Android phone?

Most of the time, you don't need to do anything—Google Play auto-updates apps by default over Wi-Fi. If you want to update manually:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app.

  2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.

  3. Tap Manage apps & device.

  4. Under "Updates available," tap See details.

  5. Tap Update next to AlterMe, or tap Update all.

For Google's full walkthrough, see Update apps on Android.

How do I turn on automatic updates?

Open the Play Store, tap your profile iconSettingsNetwork preferencesAuto-update apps. You can choose:

  • Over any network—updates over Wi-Fi or mobile data.

  • Over Wi-Fi only—recommended to avoid data charges.

  • Don't auto-update apps—you'll handle updates manually.

You can also enable auto-update for AlterMe specifically: in the Play Store, search for AlterMe, tap the ⋮ (more) menu on the app page, and toggle on Enable auto update.

Why isn't AlterMe updating?

A few common causes:

  • You're already on the latest version—if no update appears, you're good!

  • No Wi-Fi—if auto-update is set to Wi-Fi only, updates wait until you reconnect.

  • Not enough storage—free up space by deleting unused apps or clearing cache.

  • Battery saver or Data saver is on—these can block background updates. Temporarily disable them.

  • Play Store is glitching—go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clear cache (clearing data will reset Play Store preferences like auto-update settings).

  • Staged rollout—some updates are released gradually and may take a few days to reach your device.

  • Your Android OS is out of date—some updates require a newer Android version. Check Settings → System → Software update (wording varies by manufacturer).
