Smart updates

Aniyomi intelligently works to reduce the number of series in a global update to reduce the load on sources. To be updated, a series has to meet the following conditions:

  1. Series Progress: The series must have been started, with at least one chapter read or one episode watched.
  2. Ongoing Status: The series is not marked Completed by the source, there's an expectation of more chapters/episodes in the future.
  3. Chapter/Episode Completion: The series has no unread chapters or no unwatched episodes, you've read all the chapters or watched all the episode you already have,
  4. Time Elapsed: There's been enough time since the last update for the series that the app predicts a new chapter/episode is available.

You can see how often the app predicts a new chapter/episode for a series by looking at the hourglass. After that many days, the app will allow that series to check for updates.
