Say what an update changes
What an update actually does to a device before you agree to one.
An update replaces some of the instructions your device runs on. Your photos, contacts and messages are untouched.
Most of what changes is repair work: holes closed, faults mended, a few things moved.
Key points
- An update replaces instructions the device runs on
- Your photos, contacts and messages are not part of that
What to remember
- Every update comes with a note saying what it changes.
- An update changes instructions. Your things stay yours.
Try this
Find the update page on your own device and read the list of what it changes.
