Wait or update immediately? When it comes to smartphone updates, opinions differ in Germany.
A Bitcom survey should now provide reliable statistics on how Germans react to a new smartphone update becoming available.
44 percent will have an update as it becomes available. Another 19 percent aren’t so quick, saying they’ll install the update within the next few days. These are the results of a representative survey of 1,004 people aged 16 and over in Germany.
But there are also patient smartphone users. One in six people take their time and only install the latest update the following week. About 5 percent of users even hesitate until certain functions are used only to a limited extent. However, a small group of 11 percent are careless and don’t update their smartphones at all.
The benefits of updates cannot be ignored
Why is updating important? That is actually obvious. They not only contain new functions and extensions for smartphones, but also ensure security above all else. Cybercriminals are becoming more professional and operating system manufacturers need to fix vulnerabilities. Therefore, the operating system and apps should always be updated to the latest version.
But I understand that updates feel “boring” if they only improve the software under the hood and don’t integrate any visible innovations.
To better understand the need for updates, half of smartphone users want a better explanation. More transparency on the part of manufacturers may increase willingness to perform timely updates. Half of the users also find the installation time too long. Improvements in these areas can help make updates faster and more desirable
Google’s “Android Upgrade Invite” is exactly that
Then Google correctly reads the signs of the times, as might be inferred from the announcement of a practical invention. The “Android Upgrade Invite” system ensures that users are notified at a glance of the most important changes in updates and is intended to encourage more users to install software as soon as possible after release.
