The existing app version will no longer work on February 5, 2024. Your process for getting the updated app depends on your phone platform. Review the instructions below, based on your phone platform:
- Apple (iOS) Users:
If you have an Apple iPhone (iOS 14 or higher), the new mobile app will update automatically based on your typical app update settings.
