Hi! Thanks for reaching out about the update issue on your second phone. Just to make sure I understand correctly: you were able to update Wordscapes on one phone, but on your other Android 10 device with the WebKit browser, you can't get the update or the game asks you to update but no update seems available—is that right?
Before we dive in, can you tell me if you’re trying to update from an app store like Google Play Store or from within the game? Also, have you tried any steps yet to fix this on the second phone?
Meanwhile, here’s a general approach based on the situation of playing Wordscapes on multiple devices:
1. Check App Store Update Availability: Sometimes updates roll out gradually, so it might appear on one device but not immediately on another. On the phone where you can’t update, open the Google Play Store app and search for Wordscapes. See if there’s an “Update” button there or just “Open.” If no update shows, the update might not have reached your second device yet1.
2. Clear Play Store Cache & Data: - Go to your Android device Settings > Apps > Google Play Store. - Tap “Storage” and then “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data.” - Restart your phone and check the Play Store again for the update. This often helps refresh the app listings.
3. Verify Network Connection: Slow or unstable internet can interfere with updates. Are you on Wi-Fi or mobile data? Switching networks or reconnecting might help.
4. Force Close and Restart Wordscapes on the Second Device: Sometimes the game might misread its version. Go to Settings > Apps > Wordscapes > Force Stop, then reopen it.
5. Reinstall Wordscapes (last resort): If you’re okay with this, uninstall Wordscapes from the second phone, then reinstall it from the Play Store. But be careful: if you're not logged into a cloud account or Facebook/Google game account, you might lose progress, so make sure your progress is safely backed up first.
6. Sync Accounts for Multiple Devices: If you want to play on both devices with the same progress, connecting to the same Facebook or Google Play Games account in Wordscapes helps sync progress, but note that there are some known cloud save issues that may temporarily affect this functionality9.
Let me know what steps you've tried and any error messages you see, and we can dig deeper if needed! Are you comfortable trying some of these steps?
