Update Norton Family to the latest version

To get the best out of Norton Family, ensure that you have the latest version of the Norton Family application on all your devices in your account. You can update to the latest version at no cost as long as you have an active subscription. If your device is connected to the Internet, Norton Family checks for updates at regular intervals and can automatically update to the latest version. But if your device is not connected to the Internet for a long time or if you had automatic-update issues, use the following instructions to manually update Norton Family.
