Here's how to update apps on Samsung TV

To get the best experience from Samsung TV's apps, you need to update them to the latest version, and here's how you can do it.

For many years now, Samsung has been selling the highest number of smart TVs among all the brands globally. As such, there are a ton of applications available for its models. More importantly, developers consistently push updates to these apps to offer new features and a better user experience.

So, it is crucial to keep the apps up-to-date to make the most out of Samsung TVs. On units with auto-update enabled, Tizen OS automatically updates the app to the latest version periodically. However, on models with auto-update disabled, you may have to do it manually, and if you don't know how to do it, here's a step-by-step process.

On your Samsung TV’s remote, press the home button.

On the home screen, go the ‘Apps’ tab (located at the top-right corner)

In the Apps tab, scroll down to the bottom and select ‘App Settings.’

Select the ‘Update All’ option at the top-right corner. Note that you will be able to click this button only if there are updates available for apps. Else, it will be greyed-out.

Samsung TV will now update all the apps to their latest version.
