# Field Service Mobile App Updates

Stay in the know about the Field Service mobile app releases. This topic includes information on the mobile app release cadence for major, patch, and daily releases (also known as emergency releases), plus information on testing and beta periods.

Note For users with the Access Lightning Web Components (LWCs) permission set, you must update the mobile app to ensure LWCs function properly. The app must be no more than two major releases behind the Salesforce platform for the app to continue to work with LWCs. For example, when your org updates to Summer '25, any versions from Summer '24 and earlier will stop working. Note that the Spring '24 release will reach its end of life early with the Winter '25 release. Additionally, you must update the app to the latest major version to access new features or bug fixes.

## Release Maintenance Types

The Field Service mobile app has three types of releases, which align with Salesforce maintenance types: major releases, patch releases, and daily releases. So you can best prepare for changes, here’s a description for each type of release, including the length of their associated beta testing period.

  
| Release Type | Description | Frequency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Major release | Updates Salesforce Field Service mobile app with new features. The beta period is approximately 30 days. | Three times per year |
| Patch release | Deploys changes and fixes as needed to address significant, but nonemergency, customer impacting issues. The beta period is 7 days. | As needed |
| Daily release (also known as emergency release) | Deploys fixes to emergency customer-impacting issues as needed. No beta period, because daily releases are deployed on an emergency basis. | As needed |

## Mobile Release Calendar and Communication

Here are the approximate dates for the next three major releases and patch releases. Release dates are occasionally delayed to maintain customer trust.

Note We deploy major and patch releases over several days to ensure stability. The updates aren’t necessarily available for all users until 7 days after the app becomes generally available.

## Testing Best Practices

Test features before they’re generally available by using the [Field Service Mobile Beta and Early Adopters Program](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.mfs_beta_program_about.htm&language=en_US). If you have issues with a beta version, log a case immediately so that it can be reviewed before the generally available (GA) release.

If you have complex security or compliance requirements and require greater control over what updates go out, you can use Mobile Device Management (MDM).
