Exness APK and Android App — keeping the install current (Tanzania)
Which version is actually installed, how updates arrive from Google Play, what to check when alerts stop, and what a reinstall touches.
Open Exness Account →An Android install has a version, and the version drifts. The store keeps the app current on its own, a package copied from somewhere else stays exactly where it was, and much of what later feels like an app fault — a build several releases behind, a session that has ended, alerts that stopped arriving — is a state on the phone rather than anything to do with the trading account.
On Android the Exness Trade app comes from Google Play, which installs it and then keeps it at the current release without anyone tracking version numbers; the second Exness Go app for Standard and Pro accounts, MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 are separate installs on the same phone, each with its own version and its own update.

Where to download the Exness app on Android
The Exness Trade app for Android is a free download from Google Play — search “Exness Trade”. Google Play is the official source: it installs the genuine app and updates it automatically. A second official app, Exness Go, is also available: it works with Standard and Pro accounts, while the Exness Trade app also covers Raw Spread, Zero and demo accounts.
“APK download”, new version and old version
Because Google Play always serves the current release and updates in the background, there is no need to look for an “Exness APK”, a “new version APK” or an “old version APK” on a third-party site such as apkpure. Installing an APK from an unofficial source is not recommended for an app that holds a trading account.
MetaTrader 5 & MT4 on Android
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and MetaTrader 4 for Android are also on Google Play and connect to an Exness account — see the MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 pages. Trading on a computer instead? See Exness for PC.

- Open Google Play on your Android phone or tablet.

Which build is installed, and where the number is shown
Two numbers answer the question. The phone knows what it has: the app entry in Android settings lists the installed version under App info. The store knows what is current: the listing shows the latest release and offers an Update button whenever the two differ. Reading them in that order settles most questions about a screen or an option that a description mentions and the phone does not show.
MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 are separate installs with their own version numbers, and the second app for Standard and Pro accounts is separate again. One phone can easily be current on one of them and several releases behind on another, so the check is per app and not per phone.
How an update arrives, and what it keeps
An update from the store replaces the app in place. Settings, saved layouts and the signed-in session carry over, and nothing is rebuilt from scratch. Updates are applied in the background by default, which is why an app that nobody touches still stays current.
Two settings decide whether that actually happens: auto-update can be switched off for a single app, and it can be restricted to a wireless connection only. On a phone that lives on mobile data the second setting alone is enough to leave an install months behind while everything appears to work.
When alerts and notifications stop arriving
Android decides what a backgrounded app is allowed to do. Notification permission can be revoked per app, battery optimisation can delay or drop background work, and a data saver can cut the connection an app needs while it is off screen. All three are phone settings rather than app settings, and any of them will make alerts arrive late or not at all while the app looks perfectly healthy the moment it is opened.
The order that usually finds it: open the app and confirm the alert is still set, then check the notification permission for that app, then check whether battery optimisation is applied to it. If alerts appear while the app is open and never while it is closed, the answer is in the last two.
Storage, cache and a clean reinstall
The app keeps things on the phone that it does not have to keep: downloaded chart history, cached images, log files. Clearing the cache removes that and nothing else. Clearing storage, sometimes labelled app data, is the heavier option — it returns the app to a first-run state, which means signing in again and rebuilding watchlists and chart layouts.
A reinstall is the same thing plus a fresh copy of the current build. It is the right move for an install that misbehaves after an operating-system upgrade, and the wrong move for something a cache clear would have fixed. Either way the trading account is untouched: it does not live in the app, and signing in restores the same positions and history.
A hand-installed package stays at the version it was
A file copied from a message or a mirror is frozen at whatever release it was made from. Nothing on the phone will move it forward, because the store does not manage an app it did not install, and the first symptom is rarely an error — it is a screen or an option that other people describe and this copy does not have. The store listing is also the only place where an installed version number can be compared against something authoritative.
Checking an Android install after an update
- Open App info for the app in Android settings and note the installed version.
- Open the same app in the Google Play listing and compare the version shown there.
- Confirm auto-update is on for that app and is not limited to a wireless connection only.
- Check that notification permission is granted and that battery optimisation is not applied to the app.
- Open the app and sign in; being asked once after an update is normal, being asked on every launch is not.
- Clear the cache only if charts or images misbehave, and keep clearing storage as the last step, since it resets watchlists and layouts.
The same sequence applies to MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 on Android, each checked separately.
Where each symptom is actually configured
| What stopped working | Where it is set | What to look at |
|---|---|---|
| Alerts arrive late or not at all | Android settings for the app | Notification permission, battery optimisation, data saver |
| The app never updates itself | Google Play settings for the app | Auto-update switch, wireless-only restriction |
| Signed out on every launch | The app itself | Sign in again, then the screen-lock and biometric options |
| A described feature is missing | Google Play listing | Installed version against the current release |
| Storage warning on the phone | Android settings for the app | Cached chart data first, app data only as a last step |
| Charts render oddly after an upgrade | The app cache | Clear the cache, reopen, and reinstall only if it persists |
