This can help keep your device running smoothly and protect it from potential security threats. Notification After the update has been installed, you may receive a notification letting you know that your device has been updated. 

You can also check your device's software settings to see if any updates have been installed recently. Exceptions While most updates will be automatically installed, some may require manual installation due to their size or complexity.
