How to upgrade to Android 14

The easiest way to update to Android 14 is to wait until the operating system is available for your device. When that happens, you will receive a notification to proceed with the update. However, if you do not want to wait, you can download the system image and install it manually (an option only recommended for developers).

You can also perform a manual search on your smartphone. If you are wondering how to update to Android 14 in this case, you will have to access the settings of your Android smartphone and look for the update in the System section. If the download is available, accept it and wait patiently for the installation to complete. However, make sure that the smartphone has enough battery, because if the update is not completed, the device may become unusable. To avoid problems, do this with the smartphone plugged into its charger.
