Software updates by IT giants often cause problems that disrupt the normal operation of smartphones. According to Prime, Alexander Timofeyev, an associate professor of computer science at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, warned about this. He cited the latest update of Google's Carrier Services app for Android as an example. According to the expert, after installing it, the SMS messages of smartphone owners stopped working.
"I'm not surprised that over time, a feature will be added that will give you the option to delete updates for both Android and iOS, or return to the previous mode," he said. According to Timofeyev, mobile operators are increasingly updating their communication services with the latest technologies, and sometimes these updates affect the proper functioning of the smartphone, and even result in its complete shutdown. "You may also need to reset your smartphone to factory settings with a full reset.
But this does not happen often, "Timofeyev said. The expert stressed that critical errors occur in the software. Thus, many developers use ready-made templates, exchange experiences, and sometimes "get lost" in the long process of algorithms.
