Updating Tailscale
Our team regularly releases connectivity fixes and improvements for our client apps. We recommend always being on the latest version of Tailscale.
Here’s how to upgrade on different platforms:
Windows
Upgrade Tailscale by downloading our Windows installer (v1.38.1) and running it. This will update your existing installation to the latest version.

Tailscale for macOS is available in multiple ways. We recommend using the Mac App Store for a new macOS installation, and updating from the Mac App Store’s Updates page for any updates.
iOS
Tailscale for iOS is only available via the App Store, and will auto-update by default. If you need to manually update, you can do so from the App Store updates page.

Tailscale can be upgraded on supported Linux distros by using the upgrade command from the package manager used to install Tailscale. Here’s a reference for common distros.
For all Ubuntu and Debian versions, upgrade using apt-get:
