Step 1: Check Your App Store Settings – Are Automatic Updates On?
Before we manually update, let's quickly check if your iPhone is already set up to handle app updates automatically. This can save you a lot of hassle in the long run!
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Sub-heading: Why automatic updates are your friend
Automatic updates ensure you always have the latest version of your apps, including Kroger, without you having to lift a finger. This means you're always getting the best performance, security, and newest features as soon as they're released.
Open the Settings App: Tap the grey gear icon on your iPhone's home screen.
Scroll Down and Tap "App Store": You'll find this option usually below "Wallet & Apple Pay."
Review "Automatic Downloads":
Look for the "App Downloads" toggle. If it's green, congratulations! Your apps are already set to update automatically over Wi-Fi.
If it's grey, toggle it to green. You might also want to ensure "App Updates" is turned on.
Consider "Cellular Data Downloads": If you have a generous data plan and want apps to update even when you're not on Wi-Fi, you can enable "App Downloads" under "Cellular Data" as well. Just be mindful of your data usage!
Step 2: Manually Update the Kroger App (The Quick Way!)
Even if automatic updates are on, sometimes you might want to force an update immediately, or perhaps one didn't go through automatically. Here's how to do it manually.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.

This method is the most common and effective way to get your Kroger app updated to its newest version.
Open the App Store: Tap the blue icon with a white "A" on your iPhone's home screen.
Tap Your Profile Picture: In the top right corner of the App Store screen, you'll see your profile picture or initials. Tap it.
Pull Down to Refresh: On the "Account" screen, gently pull down from the top of the screen. You'll see a spinning loading icon, which refreshes the list of available updates. This is a crucial step!
Find Kroger in the "Available Updates" Section: Scroll down the list. If there's an update available for the Kroger app, it will appear here.
Tap "Update" Next to Kroger: Once you locate "Kroger," tap the blue "Update" button beside it. The update will begin downloading and installing.
Pro Tip: If you see "Open" instead of "Update," it means your Kroger app is already on the latest version!

Sub-heading: When your Kroger app plays hard to get
If you're encountering issues, here are a few things to try before contacting support.
Check Your Internet Connection: A stable Wi-Fi connection is usually best for app updates. Ensure you're connected to a strong signal. If on cellular data, check if your connection is stable.
Restart Your iPhone: A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches.
For iPhones with Face ID: Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider, then wait for your iPhone to turn off. To turn it back on, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
For iPhones with a Home button: Press and hold the side or top button until the power off slider appears. Drag the slider, then wait for your iPhone to turn off. To turn it back on, press and hold the side or top button until you see the Apple logo.
Check iPhone Storage: Insufficient storage can prevent app updates.
Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
See how much free space you have. If it's low, consider offloading or deleting unused apps, photos, or videos.
Update Your iOS Version: Sometimes, an app update requires a newer version of iOS.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
If an update is available, download and install it. Always back up your iPhone before a major iOS update!
Offload or Reinstall the Kroger App: This is a more drastic step, but it can resolve persistent issues.
Offload App: This frees up storage used by the app but keeps its documents and data. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Kroger > Offload App. Then, tap "Reinstall App."
Delete and Reinstall App: This will remove the app and all its data. Make sure you remember your Kroger login details before doing this! Tap and hold the Kroger app icon on your home screen until it jiggles, then tap the "X" or "Remove App." Confirm deletion. Then, go back to the App Store and search for "Kroger" to download and reinstall it.
Step 4: Verifying the Update
Once you think the update is complete, it's a good idea to confirm you're running the latest version.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Sub-heading: Ensuring you're truly up-to-date
Open the Kroger App: Launch the app.
Look for New Features (if applicable): Often, updated apps will have a "What's New" section or a brief tutorial on new features.
Check App Version in Settings (if available): Some apps display their version number within their settings.
Open the Kroger app. Look for a "Settings," "About," or "Help" section within the app itself. The version number is usually listed there.
Compare with App Store Version: Go back to the Kroger app page in the App Store and check the "Version History" or "Information" section to see the latest version number released by Kroger. Compare this to what's on your phone.
By following these steps, you should have your Kroger app updated and running smoothly, ready for your next shopping trip!
