How to Update an iPhone App on Your Computer

You can update the apps on your iPhone by launching iTunes from your computer, and then using the Check for Updates link located at the bottom of the iTunes App Store screen.

Click the Check for Updates link in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Every so often, the developer of an iPhone app releases an update. Sometimes these updates add new features to the app, sometimes they squash bugs, and sometimes they do both. In any event, updates are usually a good thing for you and your iPhone, so it makes sense to check for them every so often. To do this using iTunes, click the Check for Updates link near the bottom-right corner of the Applications screen.

Remember that if you click the Get More Applications link next to the Check for Updates link, you’ll find yourself back at the main screen of the iTunes App Store.
