When should I update?
You should never update Activate or KDS app without confirming with Spoton Enterprise Support (Help Desk) and/or your Client Success manager.
All updates become available immediately, but may not be needed for your venue.
Should I update iOS firmware?
You should not update the iOS firmware for a major release (Ex: version 11.0 to 12.0), but minor ones like 12.1.1 or 12.1.2 are typically fine. Like updating apps, SpotOn strongly suggests to only update after SpotOn Enterprise Support (Help Desk) and/or your Client Success manager recommend to update.
