How do I update Exodus?
Mobile
Exodus Mobile on iOS and Android updates automatically as long as automatic updates are enabled on your device. To update manually, follow the instructions for your device:
Even with automatic updates enabled, there may be a delay between the release of a new version and when your app updates.
Desktop
In Exodus Desktop, auto-update is enabled by default. When a new version of Exodus is available, your wallet downloads it in the background, and the next time you open your wallet, it launches the updated version.
When you launch Exodus after an automatic update, you will see a message that a new version has been installed.
If auto-update is turned off, you will be prompted when a new version is available.
You will be notified an update is available. In the update prompt, you can a) check to enable auto-update so Exodus updates automatically in the future (recommended), and b) click Update Now! to get the latest version of Exodus.
Wait for the latest version of Exodus to download.
Once the download is finished, click Restart Now to launch the new version of Exodus.

For Debian-based distributions, you can update Exodus via the terminal as an administrator (i.e. sudo). First, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the new version using the command line, then run the following command, replacing the X's with the specific version of Exodus you've downloaded:
sudo dpkg -i exodus-linux-x64-XX.XX.XX.deb
Installing a new version of Exodus and overwriting the older version is safe. Exodus keeps your wallet data in a separate location.
