How to update the Fly Nimbus 16 system

Every so often, mobile device manufacturers release software updates. Some of these updates are exclusively security updates, and sometimes updates are released that include new features, improvements, bug fixes, or changes in the operating system version.

Keeping your Fly updated is key to improving performance, security, and accessing new features.

In this tutorial, we will explain how to manually update your Fly Nimbus 16. Keep in mind that some manufacturers like Fly may add a layer of customization and pre-installed applications to the software updates.

We recommend updating while it is charging, locked, or overnight.
