How do I update Exodus?

Mobile

Exodus Mobile on both iOS and Android updates automatically. However, there might be a period of time between when a new version of Exodus is released and when the mobile app automatically updates.

Additionally, if you do not have automatic updates enabled for iOS and Android and you also have not updated in 28 days, then you will see a banner in your wallet letting you know an update is available.

To manually update Exodus Mobile, follow these instructions depending on your device:


Desktop

How do I enable auto-updates?

If you turn on auto-updates, your Exodus wallet will stay up-to-date automatically!

  1. a) Click the Settings icon, then b) click Personalize.

  2. Toggle on the auto-update feature to automatically install updates on the next startup.

Auto-update process

Once you've enabled auto-updates, updating Exodus Desktop takes a few clicks.

  1. Anytime you open Exodus, your wallet will check and notify you if an update is available. Click Update Now! when prompted, and Exodus will take care of the rest.

  2. The latest version of Exodus will now download. Please wait for it to finish.

  3. Once the download is finished, click Restart Now. Exodus will restart and prompt you for your password.

Auto-updates are not available for Linux. Linux users will need to update Exodus manually. For instructions, jump to: Tutorial video: Linux manual update process.

For Debian-based distributions, you can update your Exodus using the terminal. This must be done as an administrator (i.e. sudo). In this case, you will need to locate where you downloaded the new version using the command line, then use the following command (where the X's are replaced with the version of Exodus you downloaded):

sudo dpkg -i exodus-linux-x64-XX.XX.XX.deb

Installing a new version of Exodus and overwriting an old version of Exodus is safe. Exodus keeps your wallet data in a separate location.
