How To Check For And Apply An OTA Update

What's An OTA Update?

Beyond the regular updates for our TextNow app, available in the Play Store on your device, there are also over-the-air (or OTA) updates that can be available for your device.

Once an OTA update applies, your phone will almost certainly reboot. That's normal. Once the phone reboots, the update will be automatically applied.
