Do you just do the system updates you get on your phones?
I have an android Samsung. I remember doing it a few times before and did not like some of the things that changed.

So I'm holding off just wondering are they necessary to do?

Thanks

some security ones are good but more times than not it screws your phone over and some apps no longer work, can be a massive pain in the arse.

I set my phone up so that it asks me before updating. I always say no.

My phone is now something like 380 days out of date (It tells me now and then,) but it still works like a charm. I am 100% convinced that the updates are little more than slow, creeping viruses to destroy your phone. Forced, planned obsolescence.

Thanks guys and Falcon I agree it seems like they just Jack up your phone.

So is it Samsung or Verizon who sends this crap out?

This is the pop-up I get, doesn't give an option to say NO.

Google probably since they make the OS.

Be Samsung , google and other app developers. I fix these stupid things for a living and it can become a headache after updates are done on any system.

I just updated my samsung. I've never noticed a problem with updates aside from new features I don't prefer. I try to reset my phone every 6 months.

I always update mine right away and I’ve never once had an issue.

I've been telling my Samsung 'later' every day for like 2 months now.

S10? Ha ha, I'm still on the S7! I think they quit making updates for mine a few years ago. Smile The latest thing for me is these nagging questions from Google wanting me to add my birthday to my account. Fuck you Google!
