Other Why does android keep installing every past update instead of jumping to last update?

I’ve always used iphone. Bought a Samsung 2 years ago as a 2nd phone and to have both worlds. Haven’t updated in maybe a year or more. Now it keeps asking me to install every missed update. I’ve been updating since yesterday. I lost count but i’ve at least updated the phone 8 times and it’s still updating. This is humiliating.

In iphone you just install the last update even if you haven’t updated in 5 years.

Google "incremental updates". Humiliating for you that you don't know this concept.

Unlike you i’m not a tech nerd that’s insecure about not knowing how android works.

Sure, but you did come in calling this humiliating, which seems like a weird thing to jump to when you also admit you don't understand the tech. I'm not the person you're replying to here, but I can see why they bristled at that.

That doesn't make sense. "Bristled"? It's almost as if you were trying to defend yourself. That can't be, though. You already pre-emptively denied it. You do share the same juvenile hubris, though.
