Automatic cleaning by the IQOS App is not necessary or mandatory, as the proper operation of the device depends on regular cleaning (<20 uses) with the cleaner and the cleaning sticks, therefore there is no specific recommendation of frequency of use. It's an extra tool at your fingertips to help you keep the device in good condition. Don't forget that automatic cleaning consumes part of the battery of the pocket charger.
Battery performance decreases over time and due to everyday use. These settings have little effect on consumption and as functions are designed to adjust your preferences.

As upgrades to software versions are not predefined, we make sure that each upgrade supports optimal performance every time. Each time, the most recent version is important, so you don't need to keep track of which version your device has.
We may-or may not-contact you (depending on your communication preferences on our part) to inform you about possible upgraded software for your device.
You can only connect and upgrade one device at a time. In the IQOS App you can connect/pre-register for as many devices as you have in your iqos.com profile.

Logging into the App requires logging into your iqos.com account, so if you don't log in you can't upgrade the software yourself.
We recommend that you validate your account in order to activate it with the necessary details to take advantage of the upgrade service and the rest of the iqos.com services. Alternatively, you can visit an IQOS store where our partners will help you.
The functionality of the device does not depend on the software upgrade. However, the software upgrade may prevent some bugs that might occur in the future and will certainly benefit the performance of the device.
