Most applications are available for installation in «raw» form. That is, the creator releases his product unfinished, assuming that later he can introduce new features and fix bugs through updates. Consequently, many people have a logical question about how to update the application on Blackview BV8800.

Updating applications on Blackview BV8800 in the standard way

By default, all Android phones have Google Play installed — a store through which you can download, edit and uninstall applications. Since it is considered proprietary (basic), updating apps through Google Play can be called the standard way. To perform it:

1. Launch the Google Play store on your smartphone. You must be logged in to your account. Otherwise, the store will not even launch.

2. Click on your profile portrait in the upper right corner next to the «Search» field and the «Notifications» icon.
3. Go to «Manage applications…».
4. Click on «Update All» if you want all updates downloaded and installed at one time.
5. If you want to install updates for one or more apps, click «More detailed».
6. Click on the «Update» button next to the app for which you want to install the update.

Update Google Play

Google Play — it's also an app. Since it is considered proprietary (built-in), it is often updated automatically without notifying the user. If you have disabled automatic updates, sooner or later you will get an error that prevents you from using Google Play. To fix this error:

1. Launch Google Play again.
2. Click on the profile icon.
3. Go to the «Settings» menu.
4. Next, in the submenu «About application».
5. Click on «Update Google Play».

2. Go to the profile settings.
3. Click on «Settings».
4. Go to the «Connection Settings» submenu.
5. Expand the «Auto-update applications» menu. Note — you must be logged in to your account for auto-update to work.

   1. «Only via Wi-Fi».
   2. «Download over any network». If you have limited traffic on your mobile network, we do not recommend choosing this option.

Auto-update individual applications

2. Go to your profile.
3. Go to the «Manage applications» menu ….
