Social media apps put out so many updates and constantly updating them can get annoying. But are these updates really worth it?
Important features and security updates are rolled out through app updates. Let’s discuss the reasons why you should keep your social media apps updated.
The Benefits of Keeping Your Social Media Apps Updated
There are several reasons to update your social media apps. Regular updates help enhance the security of a social media app. They patch out any security risk and add extra security measures as needed to keep up with the new methods hackers employ. Take what happened to Hive Social, for example. Several security flaws came to light about their platform in December 2022. So, the developers took the site down and updated it to fix the flaws.
Another benefit of regularly updating social media apps is removing bugs and glitches. Regular updates fix bugs and glitches over time so the social media app runs smoothly.
Updates also help improve the app design and performance, which can lead to a better user experience.
A social media app may even get a UI (User Interface) redo in the next update, like Instagram’s visual refresh in May 2022. Also, some annoying menu bars may be moved to a more convenient spot. All of these help improve user experience by streamlining the app design.
