@Mastodon
Realize I am really ignorant of this stuff ... as a person on a Windows computer using Mastodon in a browser, do I need to do anything?

Can I also assume my android app will also auto-update like all other apps on my phone?

Did I mention that I'm ignorant on all aspect of this issue?

@TopKnot No, you don't need to do anything! Mastodon is the software that's running on the server which is hosting your instance. So the android app is not affected by this at all (but yes, would auto-update like any other app if there was an update for it). Depending on what this update actually changes and if applying it requires restarting the instance, as a user you may not even notice this update at all.
