    7. Frequently asked questions and myths about the SberSpasibo update

    Myth 1: "The update will delete my bonuses"

    No, bonuses are stored on servers SberBank and are linked to to your account, not to the application. Even if you delete SberThanks and install it again, the bonuses will remain.

    Myth 2: "You can only update through Google Play"

    This is not so - you can use APK, branded stores or even the web version (see section 6).

    Myth 3: “Updating takes a lot of traffic”

    The size of the update usually does not exceed 50–100 MB. For comparison: an hour of watching a video in YouTube spends 5–10 times more.
