There are several ways to update your Android device. The easiest way is to use the Google Play Store to update your device directly through the application store. To do this, go to Settings on your device and tap ‘About Phone, or to see if there is an update available for your specific model of Android device, go to Settings and tap ‘System Update’.
However, the bottom line is that your Android phone or tablet should be updated to protect yourself from potential security or app-related problems and to keep all of your applications up-to-date, especially those available via Google Play. Thankfully, updating an Android device is typically a quick and easy procedure that just takes a few minutes.
Instructions
The official Android site includes instructions on how to upgrade your phone. Google and its partners provide various methods for updating a variety of devices. To keep your device the best version of itself, you can update to a more recent version of Android by going to Settings > about phone > System updates and downloading the latest version.
However, this may differ based on the manufacturer. Devices that are explicitly marked as having Google services installed, such as the Nexus series of devices from Google or the G2 line from LG, may automatically receive updates. To check for available updates, users can consult their device’s user guide or find out more on the manufacturer’s website.
Number of Ways
There are several ways to update Android’s most recent version. You can check for over-the-air updates from your mobile service carrier, or you can shop for a new device that supports the latest version of Android. However, before you begin, make sure that you have updated your device’s firmware to the most recent version before you begin updating.
If you’re logged into your Google account on an Android device, you can simply turn on the software update for that device. From there, scroll down until you see the top section labeled “Updates”, which will show all available updates for your device. Select any update to install, tap “Install”, and follow any associated prompts.
