upgrade from pre settle to settle statues

Dear all members
many of you was wondering how fast or easy to upgrade their statues from pre settled statues to settled statues when they complete 5 years residency in united kingdom

my friend he is Italian he applied few months ago and he been granted pre settled statues because he didn't live in united kingdom 5 years but when he completed 5 years last week he applied again same app he has done same steps as he do it for first time using his passport scan his face , taking photo selfie , insurance number checks … and he got his COA second day … and his settled statues after two days of his application submission

I just wanted to share his experience for everyone have pre settled statues feeling worry of his next step .

kind regards ,

Thanks for this update @Fbiboy2002. There had been reports of the app not being able to handle these types of upgrades and of people stuck with Pre-Settled status, and your report is welcome news that this is no longer an issue.
