BestShot checks for updates by itself and downloads them in the background. It only restarts when you choose.

  • When an update is ready, Home shows an Update ready row with Restart.
  • To check by hand, open Settings → General and click Check for updates in the Updates card.
  • To stop automatic checks, turn off Automatically check in the same card.
Note

BestShot won't restart for an update while you are recording. Finish the recording first.
