# User impact after replacing app

### What happens to existing app users after replacing your live app with an AppMySite-built app?

Replacing your live app with the one you create on AppMySite ensures a seamless transition for your app users. They can simply update the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to access the new version.

* Your AppMySite app will replace the existing app on the app stores, making it available for users to update at the click of a button.
* Once updated, users will experience the new version of your app without requiring a fresh installation.
* No user data will be lost in the process, ensuring a smooth upgrade experience.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Turn the toggle on for Force app update from the [**Settings**](https://docs.appmysite.com/) screen in your account. This will display a prompt to your app users to update the app when you release a new version on the app stores.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Users can update their app directly from app stores and access the new version without reinstalling it.
{% endhint %}
