Another hugely important reason to accept almost any update from Google is for the improvements to security. With each update, Google patches leaks, problems, security issues, loopholes and anything else that surfaces. Whether they're Google's fault or something else like a Qualcomm exploit. 

The Android 8.1 Oreo update bundles the latest December security release into one fast and easy update. So we recommend you accept it at some point in the near future. 

Another big addition is a patch for the KRACK vulnerability. This wasn't a huge deal to begin with, but it's nice to have the added peace of mind that your phone is secure. Either way, this latest update keeps your phone safe.

    The software is getting more and more irritating to use with every update. Preferences disappear, menus inside menus that link to other menus that loop right back to the first, location detection snoops every place I go, ads and feed items OBVIOUSLY generated from unauthorized use of the microphone or listening on phone calls… After I finish paying for this $700 handcuff, I’m done. Google is going too far for investors, and software geeks have the wool over their eyes.
