    How to Update Apps on Hisense TV With App Store

    The system apps can be updated reliably if your Hisense TV has the built-in app store. Here, I’ve mentioned the steps to update the apps on all Hisense TV models in detail.

    Update Apps on Hisense VIDAA TV

    Hisense users with the VIDAA operating system can manage their apps using the VIDAA App Store or VEWD App Store. Although these apps allow users to delete or install apps on Hisense TV, you can’t update the app within the app store. In such cases, here are alternative methods to update the app.

    • Update the Firmware: After the firmware update, all the pre-installed apps will be updated to the latest version. To update the firmware, select Settings → Support → System Update → Check Firmware Upgrade → Upgrade.
    • Uninstall & Reinstall App: Additionally, you can remove the respective app on your Hisense VIDAA TV. After a few moments, install the app again to get the latest version.

    Update Apps on Hisense Roku TV

    Users with Hisense Roku TVs can update their respective apps from the built-in Roku Channel Store.

    • Update Apps on Roku: From the Roku TV home menu, highlight an app for update → Press the Asterisk button (*) on the remote → Check for Updates → Update.
    • Alternative Approach: In addition to installing the app, you can update your Roku TV firmware to update all the built-in apps.
    Tap on Check for Updates to update apps on Hisense TV

    Update Apps on Hisense Android TV

    Android TV users with Google Play Store can follow the prompts below to update their respective apps.

    • Update a Single App: Navigate the Hisense home screen and select Apps → Google Play Store → Search the app for update → Update.
    • Update All Apps: Instead of updating a single app, you can update all the apps by selecting Apps → Google Play Store → My Apps → Updates Available → Update All.
    Click on Update All

    Update Apps on Hisense Google TV

    If you’re using a Hisense Google TV, you can install, delete, and manage all the apps from the built-in Google Play Store.

    • Update a Single App: From the home screen, select Apps → Select an app for update → View Details → Update → Hit Update to update the app.
    • Update All Apps: To update all the available apps on your Google TV, select Settings → Apps → Manage Updates → See Available Updates → Update → Update All.
    Click on See All Available Updates

    Update Apps on Hisense Fire TV

    Fire TV users with built-in Amazon App Store can follow the below prompts to update apps for error-free streaming.

    • Update a Single App: Go to the Fire TV’s home screen and highlight the app for update → Menu → More Info → Update.
    • Enable Auto Update: You can also enable auto-update on Hisense TV to update apps automatically. For that, select Settings → Applications → App Store → Automatic Updates → turn On.

    Can I Update Apps Without App Store

    Unlike other Hisense TV models, the XClass TV, currently known as Xumo TV, doesn’t have a built-in app store. Since the XClass models have a set of pre-installed apps, you can’t install, update or delete the apps on Hisense TV manually. In these specific models, the apps will update automatically when connected to the internet.

    Update the Hisense TV Firmware to Update Built-In Apps

    Alternatively, updating the Hisense TV’s firmware will also update the built-in apps on your system. There are two ways to update the firmware:

    • Update Via Settings: Launch the Settings menu on your Hisense TV and navigate to the About section. After that, tap on System Update and check for available software updates. If there’s any update available, follow the prompts to update its firmware.
    • Update Via USB Flash Drive: Visit the update website on your PC and download the respective firmware that supports your Hisense TV. Copy the extracted firmware file on a USB flash drive and connect it to the Hisense TV’s USB port. Next, open the respective folder and update the firmware without the internet.

    Finally, after updating the firmware, you can notice all the built-in applications will be updated to the latest software versions.

    Can’t Update Apps on Hisense TV – Fixes

    Sometimes, you’ll face certain issues while updating an app on your Hisense TV. In that case, you can follow the troubleshooting procedure mentioned below to rectify those issues.

    • Initially, check the internet and make sure your Hisense TV is getting a stable connection for updates.
    • If the update stops in between, try restarting your Hisense TV to eliminate the temporary bugs.
    • If the storage is running out on your Hisense TV, you’ll have difficulties updating the app. So, clear the cache files or delete the unused apps to rectify this issue.

    After following these measures, you can update the apps without any fuss.

    Verdict

    In conclusion, updating the apps on Hisense Smart TV is one important factor in improving the app and TV’s performance. Once you update the apps on the TV, you can access the app’s latest features and get the best-ever streaming experience. Upon app upgrade, you can also fix app-related issues on your Hisense TV, like lagging, buffering, etc.
