Some BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) players have been facing issues with the 3.9 update not showing on both Android and iOS devices. This has caused frustration, as many players are eager to try out the new features and improvements. If you're also having trouble seeing the update, you're not alone, and here are some potential solutions to help you out.
BGMI 3.9 Update Not Showing
The BGMI 3.9 update is rolling out gradually in order to avoid server overloads, which means it's being released in batches. As a result, not every player gets the update at the same time, and it may take several hours for it to appear for all users.
Why the Update May Not Be Showing
The official rollout window for the BGMI 3.9 update is:
-
Android: Between 6:30 AM and 11:30 AM IST.
-
iOS: Begins at 9:30 AM IST.
Depending on your region and device, the update could appear at any point during this timeframe. Since the update is being rolled out in stages, it may not be available for all users immediately. This could be the reason why the "Update" option is not showing on your device yet. If you're facing this issue, it's most likely because the update has not yet reached your region or device.
What Should You Do If The Update Isn’t Visible?
If you're facing issues with the BGMI 3.9 update not showing, here’s what you can do:
1. Wait for the Gradual Rollout
The BGMI 3.9 update is being released in phases to avoid server overloads. This means it may not be available to everyone immediately, especially if you're in a region where the rollout is delayed. If the update isn't showing up, try checking again in a few hours, as it could take up to a day for the update to reach all devices.
2. Clear Play Store or App Store Cache
Sometimes, outdated information in your app store can prevent the update from appearing. Clearing the cache of the Play Store (on Android) or App Store (on iOS) can help refresh it and show the new update. Here’s how you can do it:
-
For Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear Cache.
-
For iOS: Open the App Store, tap on your profile, and swipe down to refresh the page.
3. Check for System Updates
Ensure your device’s operating system is up to date. If your OS is outdated, it may not be compatible with the latest BGMI update.
-
For Android, make sure you're using Android 5.1.1 or above.
-
For iOS, make sure your device is running iOS 9 or higher.
4. Force Stop and Restart the App Store
If the update still isn’t showing, try closing the App Store and restarting it. On Android, open Settings > Apps > Google Play Store and tap Force Stop. For iOS, swipe up or back out of the App Store and then open it again.
5. Reinstall BGMI
As a last resort, if nothing else works, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. This can sometimes resolve issues with updates, although you’ll need to re-download the entire game.
Special Note:
This issue is quite common with BGMI updates, especially within the first few hours of launch, due to high traffic and phased rollouts. If, after the full rollout window, you still don’t see the update, restart your device and check again. If it still doesn't show up, give it a little more time and keep checking periodically.
By following these steps, you'll likely be able to get your hands on the new update soon!
