Why You Shouldn’t Update Your iPhone Apps

Welcome back everyone, I wanted to break down a couple of different reasons why you probably shouldn’t update your apps on your iPhone. Now, if you’re on a super outdated version of an iPhone app, then you probably should go and update, but if you’re on one of the more recent versions of an application, maybe you shouldn’t update your app right when the new update comes out, why? Well, with a majority of the apps when the new update comes out, that typically fixes some things in the background, some issues here and there, maybe it adds a new UI feature or something, but there have been historically a lot of updates for not only iPhone apps, but a lot of apps in general, that have bricked or even broken the app completely, apps like Snapchat, Instagram, and even TikTok!

Once in a while, massive companies like this will push out an update that’ll pretty much break the entire app (for some people out there), and you’ll just pretty much have to wait until Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, or whoever else to push out another update to fix it, this may not be a big issue at first, but it could be an issue for you later down the road.
