Troubleshooting your Ring app update

If you're having trouble getting the latest version of the Ring app, here are a few things to try. 

Make sure your mobile device is on wifi.

If you have poor cellular signal, your mobile device may be pausing your update until its on wifi. Try connecting to a wifi network.

Make sure your mobile device has enough storage.

For apps to update, most mobile devices require 3-5 GB (gigabytes) of space. Try backing up your photos and videos to the cloud, or uninstalling apps you don't use.

Confirm your mobile device is compatible to update.

If you have iOS 13 (or lower) or Android 8 (or lower), your mobile device's operating system may be unable to use the Ring app. Since the release of these operating system versions, we've made significant security updates to help protect your Ring account.
