Why you should regularly update your financial apps
Have you ever wondered why updates for mobile apps are needed? And why do some apps get updates more often than others? There are many reasons for this, and what they have in common is that they’re all for your benefit. Some may even be crucial for your safety. We’ve prepared explanations for why you should regularly update your apps.
To keep your data secure
Hackers and financial scammers are always finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in apps and software to steal sensitive information, such as passwords, banking details, or personal data. An outdated app or software with an unpatched security flaw is like leaving your door unlocked – it’s a huge risk.
Every app must ensure security to its users – it’s non-negotiable. And when it comes to apps that offer financial services, like Paysera does, the stakes are even higher. We take user safety seriously and work tirelessly to ensure every aspect of our app is secure.
To enjoy new features and app improvements
There’s always something to improve! Updates often come with exciting changes that improve design, add functionality, or make the app easier and more enjoyable to use.
Many of these changes are based on user feedback, so by updating your apps, you’re benefiting from improvements designed with you in mind.
In Paysera’s case, we regularly integrate new tools, features, and functionalities for our clients. If you stick with an old version of the Paysera Super App, you miss out on all the improvements we’ve worked hard on for your benefit.
To keep it compatible with your operating system
Just like apps, your phone’s operating system (iOS or Android) gets updated regularly. These system updates often bring changes to how apps interact with hardware and other programs.
When financial apps (or any apps) are not updated, they may fail to adapt to these changes, potentially leading to crashes, glitches, or missing features. For example, if a new iOS update changes how notifications work, an outdated app might fail to display or process notifications correctly. Most developers proactively update their apps to align with major system updates, but if you don’t download the latest version, you could encounter issues.
Keeping your apps updated ensures smooth functionality and compatibility.
To fix bugs and improve app performance
Even the best apps can have bugs that cause crashes, glitches, or other disturbances. Developers use updates to fix these issues and make sure the tools run smoothly.
If you notice an app isn’t working quite right, an update might be just what it needs. A quick visit to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store can save you from frustration and improve your experience.
You can check what updates for specific apps contain
Not sure what is being updated and why? Both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store provide details about what’s included in the latest update. On the Apple App Store, you’ll find "release notes" in the app’s "Version History" or update section. Similarly, the Google Play Store lists "What’s New" under the app’s description. This transparency lets you know exactly what’s being improved or added.
Does Paysera update its app regularly?
Absolutely! The Paysera Super App is frequently updated to keep security tight, add new features, and improve overall functionality. You can find the Paysera app on the App Store, Google Play, and AppGallery.
