Android updates

This feature is responsible for checking and retrieving Android updates for new software versions. These updates are usually created by the Android development teams. Smartphone manufacturers can modify the updates to suit their devices and deliver it to various devices using over-the-air (OTA) updates or post it on their support pages, which will allow users to manually download and update their device.

Updates are very important for a device's security. Updates are usually rolled out to add new features and fix any security vulnerabilities on an operating system. Android has security specific updates that are modular, therefore providing smartphone manufacturers with the flexibility to push security updates much faster while taking more developmental time over updates that aren't as high a priority.
