When you update an app on iPhone?
Does it use memory (gigabits) when you update an app on iPhone? Like, is the app now "bigger"?
No. It basically deletes the app and reinstalls the new one. No memory harm done
Sure, the app can be bigger but typically space on phones is consumed far more by video/photos/music
Sometimes yes., when an app updates it can fix things that were wrong in it, like- slowness, glitching est. That may not take up GB maybe a few MB (megabites) but when they add new stuff like- new skins on a game or new maps est. It will take up MB but not GB unless you update alot of apps. Hope this helped.
Yes and no. If the update fixes an issue like a bug fix it might just add another line of code to the pre-existing app which would just take like a few more KB. If the app is a TRUE update then yes and no because the new installation might be cleaner and with shorter code, which would make it take up less. And then the other way around.
Hope that explained it well enough.
Just a by the way, Gigabits is different than GigaBYTES, you are probably talking about GB which is gigabytes, which a capital G and B which usually refers to memory. As GigaBITS, abbreviated Gb, lowercase B, refers to like router/internet speed.
- Whenever there's an iPhone update, do you update it? I don't, I still have the old (iPhone) emoji keyboard and although I'm tempted to install IOS 8.4 I'm a little hesitant b/c 1)I don't know if it's worth it. 2) My storage is almost full. I have an iPhone 5c. What about you? Do you install new IOS's? Will you be installing iOS 8.4 if you haven't already?
- Once you've update your iPhone, can you go back? I've got the iPhone 4s and I've just updated the software to 6.0 but I'm not very keen on it. I was wondering if it was possible to go back to the original software that came with my phone without losing anything (contacts, apps, music, photos etc.)
- My App Store won't let me update any app Whenever I retro select update all, it freezes & closes App Store automatically. iPhone 5 on 9.0.2 (13A452)
- In the middle of an iPhone update and my iTunes won't recognise my phone in order to continue to update. Can I stop the update now? Neither the computer nor iTunes are recognising my phone and I've been working on his for an hour, I want to stop the update so I can go to bed, how can I do that? It's only at the stage where it has a symbol on the screen of the iPhone cable linking to iTunes
