Regardless of the scope of the update, it is not recommended to ignore them.

Updating the Android operating system is an important process that allows you to fix many problems in the operation of your smartphone, and also brings new features and better optimization. From simply changing the design of the interface to closing security holes that could contribute to the leakage of personal user data.

As a rule, there are no useless updates, because each of them is an improvement of the existing version of the system. Even if the difference is not noticeable at first glance, believe me, it is there and can save both your data and your smartphone in the future.

How to update Android automatically

By default, all Android phones check for up-to-date updates. This function is regulated by a special tick. You can check whether it is enabled by:

“System” → “About device” → “About phone” → “MIUI version”.

The path may vary depending on the smartphone manufacturer, but its logical component remains unchanged.

If the manufacturer releases a fresh update, a message will appear. Click on the pop-up message and confirm the action. In the event that there is no confirmation for a long time, the smartphone will update itself until you use it. Usually, this process happens at night.

How to update Android manually

In cases where the distribution of updates of the operating system version is delayed for some reason, it can be installed manually. You can check for an update in the same way:

“System” → “About device” → “About phone” → “MIUI version”.

Let’s emphasize that different devices have their own way to check for updates, which, however, is very similar to all smartphone models. When the corresponding window opens, click on check, wait for a while and update manually if the firmware installation is available.

A couple of important points

• It is worth remembering that to start the installation of the Android update, the battery of your smartphone must be more than half charged, and in some manufacturers – at least 80%.
• It is recommended to download the update via Wi-Fi, as the firmware can weigh several gigabytes and thus consume the entire mobile Internet.
• During installation, it is better not to touch the smartphone – then everything will go quickly, smoothly and without problems. There are cases when the interrupted update process negatively affected the operation of the smartphone.
