Whether it\u2019s for Android itself or apps, software updates are important for staying on top of the latest security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic updates ensure that your apps are always up to date with the latest bug fixes and security patches. If you\u2019re going to disable automatic updates, it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re still manually updating apps.
