  1. Most users might assume that these frequent security updates and bug fixes aren’t making much difference since they come almost every month and there is now visible changes in the phone. We all like the idea of updating the phone and experiences refreshed UI changes and a bunch of new features on our phones. When instead, the update finishes installing and nothing changes, it can feel boring. However, these are the most important updates we get. These are the updates that make sure the digital life inside our phones are reliable and trustworthy enough to be used by us and prevents any potential gap in security. Obviously, google isn’t fond of doing code patch up work and looking for bugs all the time, but they still do because its very necessary. As necessary as it is for us to install these updates always.
