To get the most from your Oura experience, be sure to keep up-to-date with the latest versions of the Oura App software and ring firmware.
Starting with version 2.9.11, firmware will update automatically. Note: for the firmware update to succeed, your phone’s Bluetooth must be enabled and your ring's battery level must be above 30%.
Members may receive firmware updates at different times as they're rolled out gradually. The dates listed below reflect when the update has been fully rolled out to all members.

Firmware Update Troubleshooting
Automatic Updates
If you've toggled the settings to "on" and your firmware hasn't been updating automatically, these scenarios might be preventing the update:
- You must open the Oura App at least once since the firmware release
- Ring battery must be at least 30%
- Airplane mode must be disabled
- Bluetooth must be enabled
- Automatic firmware updates will not run if Activity Heart Rate is active, or if you are using an Explore session that measures HR/HRV (marked by the
icon)
- Automatic firmware updates will not run if you are asleep and your ring is measuring nighttime biosignals
Manual Updates
If you experience trouble while attempting a manual firmware update, try the following:
- Ensure your ring's battery level is at least 30% when attempting to update your firmware
- Ensure your ring is connected throughout the updating process — don’t close the app or toggle your Bluetooth on/off while the update is taking place
- Keep your device's screen unlocked during the update to prevent potential interruptions
- Make sure your device’s operating system is up to date. You can check this by opening your phone's Settings
- Restart your phone
- Attempt the firmware update in a room where the signal interference is low (no other devices nearby)
- If you're unable to see the firmware update, uninstall and reinstall the Oura App, then check the home screen for a firmware update message
- Attempt the firmware update through a different device (e.g., a tablet)
If none of the above steps help with the firmware issue, please try uninstalling and reinstalling Oura on your phone:
- Complete a data backup by tapping the menu
in the upper-left corner of the home screen > Settings > Back up all data
- Delete the Oura App from your device
- Reinstall the Oura App
- Place your ring on the charger, ensuring the small light on the front of the charger appears
- Go to your device's Bluetooth settings
- Locate your ring in the list of connected Bluetooth devices (look for "Oura" in the name) and tap the icon to the right to unpair/forget the device
- Unpair other connected Bluetooth devices to eliminate potential interference with the Bluetooth signal
- Make sure the ring is on the charger and charger is plugged in
- Relaunch the Oura App
- Follow the in-app onboarding flow to set up your ring
