Keep your apps up to date

Software updates do more than add new features. They also fix security weaknesses that attackers could exploit.

It is easy to postpone an update when you are busy, but leaving it pending can leave known vulnerabilities unaddressed.

• Install updates for your operating system and apps promptly.
• Enable automatic updates where available so that important fixes are less likely to be missed.
• Treat update notifications as part of looking after your device, even when the changes are not visible.

Keeping software up to date is a practical way to reduce risk to your information.
