 ## Automatic updates
 
-The CLI updates automatically. While it runs, it periodically checks for a newer version, downloads it in the background, and stages it without interrupting your session. The staged version takes effect the next time you launch `warp`. When an update is ready, the start screen shows an "update installed, restart to apply" notice next to the version.
+How the CLI updates depends on how you installed it.
 
-To turn off background updates, set `general.autoupdate_enabled` to `false` in the [settings file](/agents/cli/configuration/#the-settings-file). To turn them off for a single launch, set the `WARP_TUI_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE` environment variable to any value.
