Update the SecureFox app

How to update on iOS and Android, and what happens if you don't.

Updates ship every couple of weeks. They include protocol improvements, new server locations, and bug fixes. We avoid forcing updates unless a security issue requires it.

iOS

App Store updates happen automatically if Background App Refresh and automatic updates are on in Settings. To update manually: App Store → Profile → scroll to find SecureFox VPN → Update.

Android

Open Google Play → Profile → Manage apps & device → Updates available → SecureFox VPN → Update.

What happens on an old version

Most server-side changes are backwards-compatible — older apps continue to work. If we ship a change that breaks an old version (rare), the app shows a banner asking you to update and the tunnel stays disconnected until you do.
