Hi. This is my first posting here so please redirect me if there is an existing thread about this elsewhere. I'm just wondering if this phone will update on its own. I have it set to automatically check for updates but I haven't seen it do anything like that yet. I just got it last week and it has lolipop 5.1.1 on it. It's unlocked and not rooted also.
I guess my question is will it look at Samsung for its updates on its own? I've never had a smartphone before. I've always used those flip ones. I see an icon to create a Samsung account but I don't want another account if I can avoid it. Do I have to have a Samsung account in order to receive OS and security updates?
Here is some other info for it as it is now...
Device: Samsung Galaxy S5
Model number: SM-G900W8
Android version: 5.1.1 (Lollipop OS)
