To update the operating system (OS) on your Android device, you can follow these steps:
- Check for Available Updates:
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Scroll down and tap on Software Update (may also appear under About phone or System depending on your device).
- Tap on Check for updates. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.
- Automatic Updates:
- In the Software Update section, ensure that the Auto download over Wi-Fi option is enabled. This will allow your device to automatically download updates when connected to Wi-Fi.
- Manual Installation (for advanced users):
- For custom updates like installing LineageOS, you'll need to download the required OS file, boot into recovery mode (usually by holding the Power and Volume Down buttons), and flash the OS through the recovery menu. This process also includes wiping certain system data and installing additional software like Open GApps.
