Samsung makes some of the best screens in the world, including screens for other TV manufacturers. But their smart apps and whole smart TV ecosystem leave a lot to be desired.
Moreover, Smart TVs have changed the way people consume media for the better. Everyone no longer needs set-top boxes and media servers, or even third-party dongles. If you can get Netflix or Hulu directly on your TV, why do you need to buy more hardware?
In any case, smart TVs are smart only when the app is running normally and kept updated. With a good Internet connection, these are the basic principles of using a smart TV. With the help of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, PLEX, HBO Now, YouTube, Spotify, and all other services that provide apps for Samsung Smart TV, no other features are actually needed.
However, you may prefer the enhanced features of certain devices, such as Google TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick 4K, or even Roku. Since updates to Samsung TV apps and system software are essential to reliable performance, it’s important to understand how to update them.
Updating Apps on Your Samsung Smart TV
- Press the “Smart Hub” or “Home” button on your TV remote—models vary based on TV.
- Select “Apps” from the menu.
- Select “My Apps,” then “Options” from the following menu.
- Turn on “Auto Update.”
The above steps set your apps to stay up to date automatically so that you can get on with more important things. The downside of setting auto-update is that there is usually a short delay in accessing the Smart Hub when you first turn on your TV.
If you want to update your apps manually, open “My Apps” as above and look to the top menu. You should see an update box a couple along from Options. Select that, and you’ll find a list of apps that need updates. From there, select one or select all and allow them to update.
