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.

If automatic updates aren't enabled and you haven't updated in 28 days, you'll see a banner letting you know an update is available. Tap it to update.

Desktop

a) You're notified if there is an update available. b) Click OK.
If you don't already have auto-update enabled, optionally a) check to enable it, then b) click Update Now!
Wait for the latest version of Exodus to download.
Once the download is finished, click Restart Now.
After restarting, you'll see a prompt that shows the new wallet version.

How do I enable auto-updates?

With auto-updates turned on, Exodus Desktop will stay up-to-date automatically.

a) Click the Settings icon and b) click Personalize.
Toggle on the auto-update feature.
Once enabled, on each startup a) your wallet notifies you of available updates. b) Click OK and c) restart Exodus.
After restarting, you'll see a prompt that shows the new wallet version.

Download and unzip the new version, then replace the existing installation with the updated one.

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.
