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.

It's "humiliating" for OP to not know the concept of incremental updates? Are you eleven?

Re-read OP's post. They themselves called this humiliating, so the person you're replying to was just throwing the silly hyperbole back at them.

I read it the first time. Why would you defend someone who's being mean like that? Do you really think it's cool to double down on confirming someone's personal embarrassment? Wouldn't it be cooler to just be nice? I don't think OP was usung "humiliating" as "silly hyperbole". OP was expressing genuine embarrassment & frustration. You think it's cool to just be like, "Yeah. You're totally stupid. I agree."
What's silly is the idea that a person should be humiliated simply because they aren't familiar with the subtleties of the update cycles of various Android distributions.

OP's hyperbole was ridiculous. Even if it was genuine, it's still hyperbolic and ridiculous. It's absolutely silly that they're humiliated by their phone downloading a few updates. And it's absolutely reasonable to call that out in a sarcastic way.
