On Desktop

When you launch Discord, it automatically updates to the latest version of the app.

However, if you're receiving an error or having trouble with the app in general, there are a few things you can do regardless of your operating system.

1. Close and reopen Discord to trigger auto-updates.

1. Use your system tray or dock icon to check for manual updates.

1. Restart your device

On Mobile (Android)

The Google Play Store should automatically update Discord in the background of your Android device, but if that's not working you'll have to trigger Discord updates manually.

1. If available, click on Update.

If you don't see the update option, or if the Discord app is generally giving you issues, uninstall Discord and reinstall it.
