For the best experience,  you should always update to the latest version of the iOS or Android application on your mobile device. AlayaCare only supports the latest version of the mobile app. 

You can either enable automatic app updates (recommended by AlayaCare) on your device or manually update the app to the latest version. If you are experiencing issues with the mobile app, your first step should be to verify that you have the latest version installed.

Enabling automatic app updates

AlayaCare recommends using automatic updates to ensure that you always have the latest version of the mobile app. To enable automatic app updates on your mobile device, follow the steps below:

iOS

  1. From an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings.
  2. Tap App Store.                                                                     settings_app_store.png
