Keep scrolling to learn why app updates are so crucial especially for social media marketing 🔽

But Why?

A.Features change all the time, you want to adapt easily to the trends!

B.Updates are released to optimize the app and make it more user friendly

C.Updates get rid of any bugs that might have been hindering your experience.

This goes hand in hand with updating the iOS of your phone. Why? When the operating system updates, the apps need to go through an update on their end as well to be able to provide you with the best experience. What does this mean? Even if you update your apps, and your phone isn't updated, you'll find your social media apps can crash on you because your phone can't keep up!

Another reason why apps update so much? To protect you! Hackers find their way through loopholes to try and access your private information through third-party apps. Yet another reason why apps update so often 😀

Did you know?
Every app developing company has its own development cycle. Some may update every 2 weeks whereas others may operate on a schedule of every 2 months.
