Tip of the Week: Update Your Android Device

Posted: October 5, 2022

If you use Android devices, then you should know that updating your operating system is incredibly important. You’ll get the latest patches and fixes for various bugs, but you’ll also receive important security updates that will help you stay safe while using your device. Today, we want to walk you through how to update your Android device to the latest version of its operating system.

If you follow our instructions, you can expect a better Android experience as a whole, and you might even get some new features out of the updates, too!

How to Update Your Android and Samsung Devices

First, you should know that device manufacturers use the Internet to push out updates, so you’ll need a stable connection, whether it’s a wireless connection or your mobile data. Also, keep in mind that your smartphone might restart once or twice during this process.

To get started with updating your device, go to the Settings application. From the options listed, select System. From here, select System Updates.

Your device should start to look for any available updates. If there are updates available for your device, they should appear on-screen. If your Android device is old enough, it might no longer be receiving updates. If this is the case, we recommend you start thinking about moving on to a different device.

If there are updates available, you can tap the Download & Install Now button to begin the process. The process might take some time, but it will eventually reboot with the new updates installed on your device.

If you are running a Samsung device with Android as its operating system, you can go to the Settings app and select Software Update. This screen should tell you if your operating system is up to date. If it’s not, you can check for updates, as well as download and install them, right from this menu.

That’s all there is to it! Now you are ready to get back to work with your Android device.

Digital Sky Solutions was amazing! I would hire this company again for future projects. They were very knowledgeable and straightforward with solutions to fix our email issues. They explained the process in layman's terms which allowed me to understand the work that needed to be done. Also very quick to respond if I had any questions which was very much appreciated.

They've also set up my systems so I never have to worry about losing important data or security issues. I have complete peace of mind.

We had our network get infected with ransomware and we called and hired DSS to get us back on track. We have now retained them to fix and secure our network and also keep us safe going forward. We are happy we found them.

Digital Sky Solutions has helped my business grow outside my office. Corporate resources are available to staff anywhere in the world and are not tied to a location. We can access everything securely and quickly. Our IT costs are known ahead of time for the year and can be planned for years down the road. Especially refreshing to have good technical talent and personable service in one company. We recommend DSS for any businesses looking for good IT at a fair price. We 100% recommend Digital Sky Solutions

We hired Digital Sky Solutions in early 2009 to replace our server and network systems. Since then we have expanded our relationship and Digital Sky Solutions now provides all of our IT services, from hardware to networking to cybersecurity. As our IT requirements have increased in complexity, DSS has been there to design solutions and provide support for acquisition, installation, implementation and maintenance.
