Saying "force" perhaps sounds excessive but the truth is that until now, to update a Sony Xperia, users were with a multitude of application updates that could not be removed or hidden. The Japanese company Sony has decided to put an end to this situation, and the new version of 3.3.A.1.3 of the What's New application already allows us to hide the updates of applications that do not interest us. This new version is currently being distributed among Xperia 's all over the world, and we should receive it on our mobile phone over the next few days.
In the version of 3.3.A.1.3 application of What's New, users now have an additional button on the "Install" on application updates: " Hide " (" Hide "). In this way, if we are not interested in installing an update for a specific application, we can hide it from the update center so that it is not shown again until there is a new version available. What is achieved in this way is to avoid having to manually consult all the application updates every time we enter What's New, being able to know at a glance if there really is an important update for our applications.
What's New, let 's remember, is the platform through which updates to official Sony applications are distributed. The House, the Music, the video, the time, Lifelog, Xperia Lounge or Movie Creator are just one example of some applications that Sony used to upgrade relatively often precisely through this section (in fact, have only been a few days since that Sony will update the Camera application of the Xperia Z5). As we can read on XperiaBlog.net, this new version ofWhat's New should land on our mobile over the next few days.
For Xperia users unfamiliar with What's New, the procedure for checking the availability of new updates from Sony through this platform is as follows:
- We enter the What's New application, which we can find on our Xperia behind the icon of a white circle with colored lines inside.
- Then, click on the icon of the three parallel lines located in the upper left part of the screen, getting the side menu to be displayed.
- Now, click on the option " Updates ".
- In this section, under the heading of " Application update ", we will be shown all the applications that have a new official version at that time. Even here we will also be shown the new version of What's New.
