Just read the changelog!

(To be fair the iOS changelog is reasonable, full of bullshit marketing signs like Random Capital Letters for Normal midsentence Words, but does actually give an idea of what's changing.

Compare to the typical app message

"We've fixed some bugs"

"Bug fixes, performance improvements and more cat videos"

Or worse, the ones that are adverts

"Just like our pizzas, we're always trying to make our app as tasty as possible"




I think the point is that if the last 6 OS changes didnt do anything substantial then why would one bother to read the change log? Maybe you do the first few times but after 5 meaningless, to you, updates why continue? And if the updates are not doing anything helpful for you, at least as far as you can tell, why are they happening?

I understand there are plenty of things that one doesnt seem immediate value from as an end user that are important but update fatigue is real and just read the change-log doesn't really fix that.
