Browser indicates Brave Out of Date; Can't Update; Says to reinstall Brave

[Hikite]

Description of the issue:
Brave Browser on MacBook indicates that Brave is Out of Date. Says it cannot be updated and will require me to reinstall Brave.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
I have not done anything yet as far as updating or reinstalling until I hear if it is a legitimate request from Brave. I question the update importance considering I will apparently loose all data on my present version of Brave

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:
I expect that this is a legitimate request for an update but I would have expected that there was a way to not loose all existing browser data
Reproduces how often:

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
MacBook Pro macOS Ventura version 13.3.1(a)
Brave Version 1.49.132 Chromium: 111.0.5563.147 (Official Build) (arm64)

Says it cannot be updated and will require me to reinstall Brave.

Yes, this just means you waited too long and auto-update isn’t happening. You can go to brave.com/download and install the newest version. It won’t erase any of your information as long as you aren’t uninstalling/deleting your data.

@Hikite

considering I will apparently loose all data on my present version of Brave

Who told you that? Not true as long as you’re not uninstalling. It’s just asking you reinstall, not uninstall.

Thanx Saoiray. Up and running!
