🙏 Help! Any Pixelfed users out there with technical knowledge?

I am tech dumb. Seriously. 🫣

I tried downloading the new test version of the Pixelfed App 👇

see:
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112789889158603638

And the version replaced the one I was using. Old version was pink Pixelfed logo. New version is black Pixelfed logo.

But the version downloaded looks nothing like the screenshot provided showing some of the updates 🫤

I "think" what I have is version 1.0.0.49 🤷‍♂️ (see attachment below).

I can't find the notifications from the provided update 😕

All I have is a heart (lists the "like" notifications) and the email icon (lists the messages/DMs)
See attachment below

Did I install the wrong thing? The link took me to Google play store and this screen (see below) which is the app installed

What can I do to download the correct version?
(In detail as if instructing a 5 year old, cause I am not bright when it comes to tech, please) 🙏

I still have a home screen link/icon for pixelfed.social via the web ui ... so I'm still able to do anything needed, but I'm hopeful to also use the correct app 🙏

@riversidebryan Hi, can you try uninstalling the app, then go back to the Play Store and re-install?

That should install the latest version!

Thanks! I'll give that a try! 🙏🙌

Yes! It worked, but had to "uninstall" in two places ... right click and uninstall only removed it from the home screen ... but uninstall in Android App settings was able to remove it completely.
Thanks, Dan! 🙏🙌👏👏👏
