Hi Darren,

Thanks for your quick reply but what I am referring to is open apps that have been “installed” on users device desktops that appear to NOT receive the structural updates.

Refer to the post that @Deena posted. That is the “exact” issue I am referring to.

> Hi @nathanaelb! Yes, I’m sure. That’s why I added to this thread. blush David has already confirmed that if you are in an app that you’ve “added to home screen” in your phone/tablet/desktop (installed app) vs. viewing in mobile browser, the app won’t update until you force close and relaunch. So if your users are leaving their apps running in the background…and a lot of people do this, it could be days before they get the changes… upside_down_face

During a weekend conference my users generally keep the “installed” app open the entire time and don’t close it. Sure, any “Data” updates occur immediately but for those structural changes (i.e. we add a new button on the first screen to they can fill out a post event survey), the attendees don’t see that change in their open app.
