Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.

Verify Feature Scope

  • I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.

Problem Description

When I have an older version of open-webui and I get the popup that a new version is available, it is sometimes annoying (especially on mobile because it blocks the chat view) and when I look at the change log I find that I'm not interested in the upcoming changes

For clarity, I'm referring to this popup:

Desired Solution you'd like

a simple "skip this version" option on top of the popup

Alternatives Considered

a less intrusive "remind me later" with a corresponding setting.

Additional Context
