I have tried the app settings route, and going thru the app “update”. It takes me to the information page of the app, but does not offer an “upgrade/update” option; only “open”, which will not allow me to play the game. (Roblox)
What do I need to do to “upgrade”? -it says my versi9n is out of date.
