Update the 1xBet App
Outdated apps miss security patches and may stop working when the server API changes. But updating incorrectly — downloading from a different source than your original install — causes "signature mismatch" errors that force a complete reinstall. This page shows the right update path for each platform.

How do I check my current version?
Before updating, confirm which version you have:
Android:
- Open the app → Menu (☰) or Profile
- Look for "Settings" or "About"
- Version number appears at bottom (e.g., "v1.2.3")
iOS:
- Settings (device) → General → iPhone Storage
- Find the app → see version number
- Or: App Store → search app → version shown below name
Compare your version with the latest on the official site. If you're more than 2 versions behind, updating is recommended.
How do I update on each platform?
| Platform | Steps | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Play Store | Play Store → My apps → Update (or automatic) | 1–3 min |
| App Store | App Store → Profile → Available Updates → Update | 1–3 min |
| APK (Android) | Download new APK → Install over existing | 3–5 min |
| Enterprise (iOS) | Open official site in Safari → tap Install | 3–5 min |
| PWA | Automatic on page reload | Instant |
How do I update via APK correctly?
APK updates work by installing over the existing app — Android keeps your data if the signing key matches. This is why you must download from the same source:
- Download from official source — same source as your original install
- Don't uninstall first — installing over keeps data
- Open the APK — tap "Update" (not "Install")
- Wait for completion — don't interrupt
- Disable unknown sources after — security best practice
If you see "App not installed" error, the signature doesn't match. You'll need to uninstall the old version first (losing local data) and install fresh.
Should I update now or wait?
Update priority depends on what changed:
| Update type | Priority | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Security fix | 🔴 Urgent | Update immediately |
| "Update required" in app | 🔴 Urgent | App will stop working — update now |
| Bug fixes | 🟡 Medium | Update within a week |
| New features | 🟢 Low | Update when convenient |
| UI changes only | 🟢 Low | Optional — wait for feedback from others |
Tip: If a new version has bugs, the developer usually releases a fix within days. Waiting 2–3 days after a major update reduces risk of hitting new issues.
What if the update fails?
Common errors and fixes:
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "App not installed" | Signature mismatch | Uninstall old, install new (data lost) |
| Update stuck at 0% | Network or storage issue | Switch network, free 300+ MB |
| "Insufficient storage" | Not enough free space | Need 2× APK size for update |
| Play Store: "Pending" | Queue or network issue | Clear Play Store cache, retry |
| App Store: "Cannot Update" | Different Apple ID region | Sign in with original Apple ID |
