How To Auto-Update Apps

What Is Auto-update?

On any smart device, you can set some or all of the apps to auto-update. Meaning, when a new version is available, it’ll self-update automatically. That way, you don’t have to make time to manually update apps from the Google Play Store often. 

We strongly recommend setting Arryved Service to auto-update on all of your POS devices to ensure you’re always using the latest and greatest Arryved has to offer. 

Prerequisites

  • Have your Arryved POS devices handy!

Limitations

  • Sometimes, when an app is updated, there are new or updated permissions. You may see a prompt to accept new permissions or need to update permissions through the device’s settings. 

  • For apps to auto-update, you may need to restart your device. We encourage you to power down your POS devices at the end of each night so the auto-updates can do their thing. 

  • The steps in this guide may look different if Google makes any significant changes to the Play Store interface. 

How It Works

You can set all of your apps to auto-update at once or you can set individual apps to auto-update. Choose one of the options below. 

Auto-update All Apps

In Google Play, you can set auto-update to all of your Android apps on this device. 

  1. From your Arryved POS device, open your apps list

    • Swipe up from the home screen, or find the icon with 9 dots to get to the apps list.

  2. Open Google Play (or Play Store). This is where you download and purchase apps from.

  3. From the top right corner, tap the circular User Icon

    • This is either a personal photo, an initial, or the generic head and shoulders icon, in a circular image. 

    • Older devices may have three vertical dots in the top right corner instead. 

  1. Tap on Settings.

  2. Tap on Network Preferences.

  3. Tap on Auto-update apps.

  4. From the prompt, choose the update option and tap Done.

Hooray! You’ve now successfully turned on auto-updates for all of the apps on this device including Arryved Service. Tap the back arrow in the top left corner to exit out of settings.

Auto-update Individual Apps

In the Google Play Store, you can set auto-update to individual apps rather than all of them. 

  1. From your Arryved POS device, open your apps list

    • Swipe up from the home screen, or find the icon with 9 dots to get to the apps list.

  2. Open Google Play (or Play Store). This is where you download and purchase apps from.

  3. From the top right corner, tap the User Icon

    • This is either a personal photo, the generic person icon, or an initial in a circle. 

    • Older devices may have three vertical dots in the top right corner instead. 

    • You may need to verify your Arryved Gmail account. 

  1. Tap on Manage apps & devices.

  2. Toggle from Overview to Manage.

  3. Tap on the app of your choice. (Psst…choose Arryved Service!).

  4. From the app’s details page, tap the 3 dots on the top left to open more options.

  5. Check the box labeled Enable auto update

  6. Tap the back arrow on the top left corner and repeat for any other apps you’d like.
