Why do you need to Update an App?
As mentioned earlier, there are two categories of apps, pre-installed or system app, and third-party apps added by the user. When it comes to pre-installed apps, you need to update the app before you can use it. This is because the original app version is usually pretty old as it was installed at the time of manufacturing. Owing to a significant time gap between its original factory set up and the present when you get your hands on your device, several app updates must have been released in between. Therefore, you must update the app before using it.
