2. Read The Last Chapter

Many users have pointed out that after you complete reading the last chapter available of your manga or comics in Tachiyomi, Tachiyomi will automatically take an update and get new chapters that have been released in your manga directory.

However, you will have to read all the chapters that are there in the manga as well as the last chapter available in your Tachiyomi app before the Library will automatically update itself.

3. Check The Internet Connection

The first thing that you need to do is to check the internet connection.

Tachiyomi needs a stable internet connection to work properly on your device so if you are unable to provide it then Tachiyomi might not be able to update the Library.

Make sure that your Wi-Fi or phone data is turned on. Also, check and make sure that your Airplane mode is turned off. If you are in a Wifi connection then change it to a data connection.

If there is a connection issue in your Wifi then you can try to do a router reset.

  • Simply switch off the router and unplug it from all the devices and power supply.
  • Wait for 3 minutes and then plug it in again.
  • Now wait for the signal to come back and connect to the internet through it.

Check whether you are able to solve the issue. If you still get the issue then contact the local service provider to get the issue checked.
