How often do you update your apps on your devices?
me:
- android: 2x per year, except some app needs an update to work
- linux/manjaro: every few months, except security stuff (ik its a rolling release distro but I hate updating frequently)
A while ago I updated mostly directly after publish. But since more and more apps (primarily Google services, Social Media, …) get shitty updates which include AI and bloat, I try to update as less as possible while stil trying to get important and new features.
But many apps freak out when not applying these updates in this timespan, which makes it really annoying when needing an app urgently. Then having to update them with eventually bad network makes me aggressive.
Which are your opinions?
I dont really use critical apps on my phone and on some important apps, i cant use them until I update them. So theres not a big risk or danger for not updating them. still there are some apps i update often but for the big all, twice a year must be enough
I thought you meant like all apps, ha. My bad. Yea there are def apps that you’d wanna use old versions for.
