Keeping the apps on your iPhone up to date is important not only for security reasons, but to ensure you have all the latest features.

While you can always set your apps to update automatically so you don't have to keep an eye on them, if you prefer to install updates manually, doing so is pretty straightforward.

However, the way you manually update apps differs slightly in iOS 13 compared to previous versions. In iOS 13, you'll need to go through a few extra steps to find the update page.

But once you know where to look, a few taps will make sure you're on track with the latest release available.

Here's how to update your apps manually on an iPhone running iOS 13.
