Do you ever get annoyed by the regular reminders to update your device’s software?
Many of us put off software updates until our phone or tablet does it automatically for us. But, this could be lead to problems with security, software glitches and even every day issues, such as poor battery health. Even though software updates seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times, they are in fact an essential part of your device systems’ stability and safety.
Regularly, holes are found in the operating systems of devices and also applications. When these are detected, companies develop patches to cover these holes and increase the security of your device. These patches are produced and released through software updates, meaning that keeping your phone up to date is a key way of protecting it from any security risks, such as viruses.
With uncompleted software updates linked to a large proportion of cyber attacks and malware issues on phones and tablets, it is vital to keep your phone up to date. Here at DeXTech we encourage all of our customers to check this on a regular basis.
Besides the importance of ensuring continual security on your device, software can affect the day-to-day functionality too. If you do not keep your software up to date, you run the risk of experiencing issues such as lagging and poor battery health. Software plays a significant role in ensuring your device runs smoothly overall as it plays the key role within the operating system.
Along with this, regularly updating your device will allow it to continue having access to the widest range of applications possible, especially on Apple iPhones and iPads. The software your device is running will directly correlate with the software that different applications are compatible with. Older versions of Android OS and iOS will not be compatible with many newly released apps or updates for apps.
One of the best things you can do on your smartphone or tablet is to set up automatic updates be installed as soon as they are available. With this set up, you won’t have to worry about annoying notifications or glitches again!
