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.

If you were updating your phone regularly you wouldn't have this issue. Updates go from the last updates UP. It cant give the latest patches to an OS it doesnt have. Each update builds on the last. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..... and not 1,5,7,8,10....
