# I have published a new version, will my users have to reinstall the app?

#### App Update Behavior

When users add your app to their mobile device's home screen, the app updates automatically under these conditions:

1. The user opens the app, puts it in the background for over 60 minutes (the new version is detected when the app enters the background), and then reopens the app.
2. The user closes and relaunches the app.
3. The user uninstalls and reinstalls the app.

This update process is designed to be non-intrusive, ensuring that users' ongoing tasks are not disrupted when a new version of the app is published.
