No matter how modern and advanced an android phone you buy, with the growing technology, your phone will age with time and therefore, get slow and difficult to operate.
Having hundreds of applications and tons of storage, your phone gets over-burdened and less efficient. To overcome this issue and to increase the life of your android phone, you need to update it regularly.
This task has become very convenient, especially due to the availability of numerous kinds of updates the new technology has brought us.
Here are some signs to know your android phone needs an update!
Battery Drains Quickly
We use multiple applications on our phones almost all the time. Many of these are even operating on the backhand even when the phone is not in use.
These applications put a lot of stress on our phones’ batteries especially when they get old and therefore, cause them to drain quickly.
Regular OTA (Over the Air) updates cause the applications to be more battery-efficient and ensure long battery life and ultimately, help you to use your current phone for a longer duration of time.
The OTA updates are also very safe, compliant, as well as financially suitable for your android phone. It is also user-friendly enabling you to update your phone and latest applications with ease. 2 types of updates can be done; automatic as well as manual OTA updates.
Automatic updates are deployed by IoT device manufacturers themselves and are installed automatically while the manual OTA updates are usually non-mandatory for the user and are specific for the applications which either require it or not.
The Phone is Slow and Outdated
Another major sign to look out for is that your android phone is not as fast as before.
The applications you want to open take a lot of time to do so and even when they do, your phone gets stuck and drags.
The software system of your phone has also become quite outdated, stopping and breaking down applications after every use now and then.
This would, in turn, put further stress on your android phone and would cause its battery to drain even more. If this is the case, then an update is an essential requirement for you.
New Applications Won’t Operate
Once your phone’s software gets outdated, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to download and use new applications on it.
This is a major issue for many people since new applications are coming into the market almost every other day and some of these are essential for work, studies, and so on.
Many of the latest applications require the latest software system of the phone and would not either download or even if it gets downloaded, it will not operate with the old system.
Phone Crashes Down
One of the major difficulties you can face while using a phone without updated software is that it crashes down regularly.
Even if you are using one or two applications at a time, your phone would still not be able to handle that pressure.
This would cause your phone to either crash down because the system is not responding at that particular moment or would cause your phone to automatically get restarted.
This could cause a lot of annoyance and discomfort as the work you may be doing on your phone would get interrupted and in many cases, your data might be lost as well once the phone restarts.
Poor Storage
Applications that have not been updated yet keep a lot of extra and unwanted storage within themselves.
This puts a lot of exertion on your phone’s memory and internal storage, causing it to hang, crash, and drag as well.
Furthermore, you cannot download any new things on your phones such as pictures and new applications, etc.
This deteriorates the overall quality of your android phone and causes a nuisance in all the work that you may want to do.
Final Thoughts
It is essential to look out for signs of whether your android phone needs an update or not.
You must keep a regular check on your phone’s software and ensure that you regularly update it, matching with the current software update available in the market.
This would keep your phone healthy, its battery life prolonged, and keep it bug-free at all times.
