Ive said it before, and Ill keep saying it: Its important to keep your devices updated.
Though even Ill admit there are few exceptions to this rule.
But to hold off onalldevice updates because youre concerned about what they might do to your hardware?
I despise all the updates that are automatically performed on the phone.
My questions…1. is there a way to reverse the updates already performed and 2.
Is there a way to stop automatic future updates from being performed?
I called Verizon who got me on the phone with Samsung.
He told me to Try it, youll like it.
I hear where youre coming from.
Does that stop mefromupgrading to the new iOS?
Theres no shame in feeling overwhelmed, or even downright hostile to change.
For you, specifically, consider whats coming down the road withAndroid Q.
We wont know the extent of those changes until Android Q goes live to everyone.
However, youllneedto have Android Q to take advantage of this feature.
Google isnt planning to roll it out to older versions of the OS.
Blocking Android system updates
Hopefully Ive convinced you about the importance of updating your Android machine.
If not, I can at least answer your questionas much as it pains me.
To block Android updates, Id recommend exploring three options.
Pull upSettingsagainand scroll down until you see the About phone section.
Then, tap on the Software Information section, and scroll down until you see Build Number.
Start tapping onthatsection until your unit says that youve enabled Developer mode.
Then, head back to your primary configs screen and scroll down.
You should see a new Developer options section near About phone.
Tap on it, and then look for the Automatic system updates option.
ensure its not enabled.
Thatshouldprevent your phone from receiving automatic updates.
Master what you have now and disable machine updates going forward if you truly must.
