I have LineageOS installed on my phone and it has almost weekly updates. Since the device is quite budget, I believe its memory can be damaged by such often updates so I’m not updating it for 2 months already. But there are security fixes and patches in newer versions so I do want to update. My question is: do I have to install every update one by one (there are like 8 of them lol) or can I just install the newest version? All of the updates are minor of course. There are no Android version jumps

EDIT: I installed the latest version as everyone suggested and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you all for help

    There is a type of memory called eMMC. It’s used in the absolute cheapest phones and it can wear out in like 30 formats afaik

      I could be wrong but I’ve never heard of a phones internal storage wearing out. Also eMMC can take a beating and certainly can take 30 formats. If it wore out so quickly downloading apps and using files would be a problem.

        It’s not about read/write cycles but about formatting partitions smh. Idk how it works. Tbh I don’t really believe in such quick wear either
