Update the HP webOS operating system

HP provides updates to your smartphone’s operating system. Update notifications are sent to your smartphone automatically when a system update is available (see Respond to a system software notification). When you update your smartphone’s operating system, your personal information and files are not affected. In addition to receiving update notifications, you can manually check for operating system updates at any time (see Manually check for system updates).

What’s more, both HP and many application developers make updates available for applications you installed on your smartphone. You can check in Software Manager at any time for application updates (see Update a downloaded application from a notification and Manually check for application updates).
