Requires one of the following licenses:

In order to ensure your device has the latest app version, first check your app version from the Samsara Driver App settings:

Samsara delivers Driver App updates in two ways:

Native Updates

App versions that are automatically pushed to the Apple and Google Play stores. Most devices are set to update automatically to the latest app version as they become available.

To receive a native update, the device must have connectivity to the relevant app store.

Tip

To avoid excessive use of gateway hotspot data, it is recommended to connect to Wi-Fi for native updates, as the update process can consume a significant amount of data.

The following are the latest available versions of the Samsara Driver App in stores:

  • Android devices: 2542.100.17032

  • iOS devices: 2542.100.17032

Note

The last four digits of the main revision number are an internal build number reference (e.g. 2320.100.XXXX). These numbers are not important for ensuring you are on the latest version of the Samsara Driver App.

If your app version is lower than this number, locate and install the update from the relevant app store. If you have disabled updates, you can manually update the app version by following the instructions for the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).

For Android devices, download the latest Android APK to manage your own installation.

Over-the-Air Updates

Over-the-air (code-push) updates that are sent to the app without requiring installation from the store. To receive these updates, drivers simply sign out and sign back in to the Samsara Driver App.

The following over-the-air versions of the Samsara Driver App are pushed automatically to your device:

  • Android devices: 2542.101.17102

  • iOS devices: 2542.101.17102

Note

The last four digits of the main revision number are an internal build number reference (e.g. 2320.100.XXXX). These numbers are not important for ensuring you are on the latest version of the Samsara Driver App.

    I would be great to have a notification on the driver app or the dashboard if a new version is available, at least for the devices that have the automatic updates disabled or that are using an older version of the app. Thanks.

    This article is often outdated. For example, I’ve seen drivers with version 2522.300 in the last week, but the latest version listed here is still 2521.501.

    This seems to happen at least once a month, with delays of several days before updates are made. Is it possible to keep this article updated every time a new version is released?
