- RyanZAG 11y agoIt's not funny. iOS has significantly more update friction because of policy rules forbidding you from self updating. It's the whole reason.
- firloop 11y agoI did a poor job explaining - the policy rules are the friction I was describing in my original post.
- eklavya 11y agoI am wondering in what world self app updates would be considered a good thing. As an end user it terrifies me. Although in android you have to declare permissions beforehand, does it cover that? With android 6 would you be able to update to require anything and just ask on demand? Is the fear irrational?
- oblio 11y agoAren't you annoyed by apps that can't update themselves on desktops?
- eklavya 11y agoNot if they can be updated from one place like in case of mobiles.
- Eridrus 11y agoDo you have any way to actually scrutinize app updates? About the only thing the constant update notifications do is cause me to uninstall apps that I'm not using any more.
