• Step 3: Use the APK installer to install the downloaded APK file
• Step 4: Grant necessary permissions and wait for the installation to finish. Following these steps will install the update on your device.

Note: APK files are to be downloaded at the reader's discretion.

While Android users can install the file via the Google Play Store, iOS users can do so via the App Store. Below are the Google Play Store link (for Android users) and App Store link (for iOS users) to install the fresh patch:
