Hi there! I understand you're seeing a message in the Squad Alpha app saying you need to update because your version is old. Let's get this sorted out for you.

To start, could you tell me if you tried updating Squad Alpha directly from the App Store on your iPhone? Sometimes the update prompt appears if the app version is outdated, and the best fix is to update it through the App Store.

Here’s a simple step-by-step to follow:

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone.
2. Tap your profile icon at the top right corner.
3. Scroll down to see if Squad Alpha is listed under available updates.
4. If you see Squad Alpha there, tap "Update" next to it.
5. After the update finishes, try opening the app again.

If you don’t see the update option or it doesn’t work, try restarting your iPhone and then checking the App Store again.

Also, can you check your available storage space in Settings > General > iPhone Storage? Sometimes lack of free space can block updates.

If you’ve already done the above and it still tells you to update with no option to update, there might be a version compatibility issue. In that case, let me know if this has happened suddenly or after a specific action, and I can guide you further.

Just to be safe, make sure your iOS version 18.7 is fully updated (Settings > General > Software Update), as some app updates require a minimum iOS version.

Let me know what you find! Are you able to see the update in the App Store?

When I open the app it tells me to update because I have an “old version” of the game. Im

Thanks for letting me know you’re still seeing the “old version” update prompt when opening the Squad Alpha app on your iPhone. I want to help figure out why that’s happening and get you back in the game smoothly.

Since you’re on iOS 18.7, updating the app via the App Store should normally work fine. Have you tried deleting the app entirely and reinstalling it fresh from the App Store? Sometimes, when an app prompts for an update but the update doesn’t appear normally, uninstalling and reinstalling can clear any cached or partial install data causing the issue. This method will mean you might lose any local game data not synced to your account, so if you have important progress, please make sure it’s backed up or saved in your account.

Here’s what to try:
1. Press and hold the Squad Alpha app icon on your home screen.
2. Tap “Remove App” and then “Delete App” to uninstall.
3. Restart your iPhone.
4. Open the App Store, search for “Squad Alpha,” and tap the download icon to reinstall.
5. Open the app and see if it now lets you play without the update prompt.

If the problem persists even after reinstalling, it’s possible that the game recently pushed a critical update requiring full reinstall or the update hasn’t propagated fully yet on your iOS region or App Store account. Sometimes app updates are rolled out gradually.

Lastly, make sure your iOS software is fully up to date (Settings > General > Software Update), as some updates require a minimum supported iOS version to work.

If you’ve already done the reinstall or updating iOS and it still says the game is out of date, please let me know. We can then explore if it’s a known app server issue or if contacting Squad Alpha’s support directly might help.

Are you okay to try deleting and reinstalling the app? I’m here to guide you through it if needed.
