Software updates mean fixing the old problem and updating something new. You will get some better experience. These updates come from companies.

• OP system updates: Windows, Android, iPhone, etc.

These types of updates are launched by companies.

2.  Security benefits of updates 

Most companies like Microsoft and Google update their software for security. If a company finds any bug or security error in their program, then they work on the updates and release it. So if you don't update the software that is released by the mobile or computer company, then you will get lower security because companies already update the application, but you didn't update, and that's completely your fault. So you should update software on time. 

3. Better speed and performance 

Lots of times when we don't update applications or programs on our phone or computer, we face lots of issues, like our phone becoming slow and us not being able to use it properly when we ignore the updates. So you should update on time to get better speed and performance.

Companies also update to bring up their new features and improvements in the application. If you use the same thing in the application, then you might feel boring. So they update the software and add some extra improvements and features.
