That depends on which platform (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or web) you’re using. Here’s how you can update Amazon Chime:

## 📱 Mobile (iOS / Android)

* **iOS**: Open the **App Store** → tap your profile icon → scroll down to *Available Updates* → find **Chime** → tap **Update**.
* **Android**: Open the **Google Play Store** → tap your profile icon → go to **Manage apps & device** → under *Updates available* find **Chime** → tap **Update**. [1])
* You can also enable automatic updates in your settings so Chime updates automatically when new versions are released.

## 🖥 Desktop (Windows / macOS)

Amazon Chime desktop client has a built-in update mechanism.

**Automatic Update Behavior:**

* The client automatically checks for updates every ~3 hours.
* When an update is available (and you’re *not* in a meeting), it prompts you to install it (with a short countdown) or you can postpone via “Try Later.”
* On macOS, when you choose “Restart Now,” it will apply the update.

**Manually Forcing an Update or Dealing with Issues:**

* On Windows, you can go to *Help → Check for Updates* to force a check.
* If the update fails or you run into problems, a clean reinstall often resolves it:
 Quit Chime.
 Uninstall it (via “Add or remove programs” on Windows, drag to Trash on macOS).

 Install and launch the new version.
* On macOS, you might also need to clear caches (e.g. `~/Library/Caches/com.amazon.Amazon-Chime` and the “ShipIt” folder) if updates are stuck.
* If you see messages like “We’re still updating,” make sure no residual “ShipIt” or updater processes are running and retry.
