Updating the JPSLauncher/Jolt app on a JPS device
Unlike Jolt, which is a large 60-70 MB download, the Launcher is only a small 2 MB file. If you prefer not to wait for the device to update to the latest Jolt version (or if the latest version of Jolt doesn’t include the Launcher install code), you can manually install the latest Launcher which will ensure the Jolt app stays up-to-date.
**PLEASE NOTE, THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED ONLY FOR A JPS DEVICE. FOR ALL OTHER SHARED OR PERSONAL DEVICES, PLEASE UPDATE DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PLAY STORE OR ITUNES STORE **
Here’s how to do it:
Open the System Dashboard:
Slide down from the top of the screen twice to open the system dashboard.
Tap the gear icon to open Settings. On newer devices, you might need to swipe down about 1 inch from the top-right corner of the screen. The gear icon will be located in the bottom third of the buttons, to the right of the Power button.
Access App Settings:
Tap on “Apps & notifications.” On newer versions, this might just be labeled “Apps.”
Tap “SEE ALL __ APPS” and find Chrome in the list. Tap on it.
Allow Installation from Unknown Sources:
In the “App info” screen, scroll down to “Install unknown apps” and tap it.
On the next screen, you’ll see a switch labeled “Allow from this source.” Turn this switch on
Enable Chrome:
Go back to the “App info” screen for Chrome.
At the top, tap the “Enable” button.
This will make “Open” and “Disable” buttons appear. Tap “Open.
Download the Launcher:
In Chrome’s URL bar, type in jps.jolt.com and press Enter.
Tap the “Update Launcher” tile, then select “Download the Launcher.” Once the download is complete, a window will pop up. Select “Open,” and then choose either “Install” or “Update” on the next window.
(Optional) Return Chrome to Original State:
After the installation is complete, go back to the Chrome “App info” screen in Settings.
Tap “Disable” to return Chrome to its original state.
And that’s it! You’ve manually installed the latest Launcher on your device which will then fetch the latest version of the Jolt app and make sure it successfully updates.
