app updates

Program version changes

App updates are new versions of software applications released to fix bugs, add features, or improve security.

Updates may install automatically or require user approval.

The term often carries mild annoyance—updates interrupt workflow, consume storage, or change familiar interfaces: My phone keeps nagging me about app updates.

After the update, everything looks different.
