5 Reasons Why You Should Never Skip Android Updates On Your Device by bravesoul247(op): 5:36pm On Nov 30, 2019
Android updates are there because our devices need them, especially for those that always complain about not having Tecno's update, rumours has it that they've started releasing updates now. Hackers and other cybercriminals are always working on improving their shady methods and finding holes in our security system. They often succeed at this mission and cause numerous data breaches and other incidents worldwide. Below are the reasons why you need them.

1) Skipping Updates Leaves Your Device Vulnerable

Updates are not only there to deliver new icons and fancy wallpapers to your device. They have an essential purpose in the overall function of the Android system.

Each update improves the system by fixing known vulnerabilities that hackers might be able to track down. If you skip the next update, your device will remain unprotected, becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks.

2)Updates Are Easy to Install

All you have to do is approve an update, and the device will do the rest on its own. Plus, you can even turn on the auto-update feature. Your phone will update itself at a set time – usually during the night when you’re not using it anyway. Why skip an important update when you can get it over within a minute or two?

3)You Paid for Them

Would you ever buy something and let it sit somewhere without ever using it again? Probably not, right? So, why should you do the same with Android updates?
When you bought the device, you also paid for a lifetime of system updates from the manufacturer. Skipping them means you’re throwing away something you’ve paid for.
Therefore, instead of giving them a miss, make use of these updates and let them keep your device in optimal health.

4)Updates Bring New Features

Improved security and faster performance are not the only benefits that come with Android updates. We’ve talked a lot about security here, but updating your device gives you new features as well. These range from new apps and widgets to improved display structures, new fonts, and themes, as well as numerous other applications. Updates often change the appearance of certain apps or locations on your phone.

5)Your Device Will Perform Better

Besides improving security, updates fix bugs that slow your device down. If you notice your Android device lagging too often, you’ve probably missed a few updates.
Taking a moment to update your device will make it run smoother. You will no longer have to deal with poor performance or frequent app crashes. Just give the device some time to install an update, and it will perform much better.
