By default, your Firestick will check for software updates and download the same automatically if it is connected to the internet. However, you need to install that update manually. Let’s see how to do that. Now, you will see a list of options below the Settings. Scroll and select the option titled My Fire TV. From the next screen, select About from the list of options. Then, scroll down in the About menu and check if you see an option Check for Updates. If you click on that, you will see information about your current software version and the last time it checked for an update. Instead of Check for Updates, if you see the option Install Update, then it means that new software is available. Go ahead and select the Install Update option. Then, your Firestick will switch off for a few seconds and switch on again. And, you can see the message “Installing the latest software” on your TV screen with a progress bar. As soon as the installation gets completed, your Firestick will switch on and you can see the Home screen.

You need to have at least 500 MB of storage to update the Firestick. If you see a value less than that, then delete the unused or less important apps to free up space on your Firestick.
