Updating the App

1

Check for updates

Open SIMtrix Bridge on your phone. Go to Settings (gear icon in the top right). Scroll down and tap "Check for Updates". The app will contact the SIMtrix server to see if a newer version is available.

We recommend checking for updates at least once a week to get the latest features and bug fixes.

2

Download and install the update

If an update is available, you will see the new version number and release notes describing what has changed. Tap "Download Update". The APK file will download. Once complete, tap "Install" to apply the update. Your settings and login will be preserved.

3

Restart the app

After the update installs, the app will restart automatically. Verify that the connection indicator is green and that your SIM and account selections are still correct.

After a major update, it is good practice to grant any newly required permissions if prompted.
