Why You Should Update Your Roku Streaming Player or TV
Although Roku's software automatically checks for updates in the background and applies them regularly, there are some cases where you may want to check manually. As with most connected devices, your first step in troubleshooting your Roku should be to make sure it's running the latest software to rule out known bugs and performance issues. Manually checking for updates may also allow you to experience new features as they are released. For example, Roku OS 9.4 allowed users to set up their Roku devices with Apple HomeKit, while previous releases included support for Roku's line of wireless speakers.
