When we receive an update on our mobile phone, the temptation and the most recommended is to click on download and install the Android update, although on more than one occasion we have learned that it is not safe because it contains errors and problems in the new version of the system . This is something that neither the brands nor we can write down for sure and that is why we want to show you the steps that we must check to know if it is time or it will be better to wait to update the mobile.
Luckily for users in Spain, Europe and practice comment all over the world, in other countries such as India or in the regions of Asia these versions are developed making them the first to try them. This means that if errors or problems occur it will be very easy to save the installation and wait for another better time, although for that we must be aware of the information that we offer you on our site among other measures that we are going to show you.
Know the changelog of the updates
The first and most important thing is to take a look at the update we have received, by clicking on the notification or by going to Settings> System> Updates. Here the information with the software number of said update will appear, a number that will later be necessary. The changelog will also appear or we will have to touch on seeing details to be shown.
This what it offers us is the list of changes that are made with the update in the system , offering in different sections the corrections to errors, improvements that have been added or new options. Each brand uses a method to show it, but all must provide minimal information that in some cases is complemented in their own forums.
Find bugs and problems in forums
Another very important and valued measure that we can follow to know if an Android update is safe, is online and specifically in the official forums. The brands have a forum where, in addition to expanding the information on these updates , they give users the opportunity to comment on what problem they have encountered. In this case, all we have to do is search in our favorite search engine for the software number and links to these official portals or other well-valued unofficial ones such as XDA Developer or recognized websites will appear.
Although we have to spend some time learning about options, it will be better than regretting an update with more false than solutions. In case of doubts, we can be ourselves the ones who interact to wait for a response from the moderators or prominent users giving us specific information, also remember that some comments may take a while and it will be better to go directly to the most recent ones to answer any questions.
For what reasons should we not install an update?
- An update has just been released and there are no opinions yet.
- Several users comment on a serious problem recently.
- The brand has admitted the errors and works to fix them.
In most cases it is safe to update
We should not get carried away by a single comment saying that the Android update is not safe or contains errors, there must be several that we find since it could be a specific failure of that unit. By evaluating the number of comments and the time in which it was created, it was published in the forum, we can know if there has been enough time for others to update and they do not encounter errors.
We must be consistent and know how to recognize that if our mobile phone is suffering a major failure, it will be difficult for it to get worse and given this it will be better to update to trust the developers.
