Usage Note

Actualización is the standard term in Spanish-language tech contexts for a software update or upgrade — actualización del sistema, actualización de seguridad. Outside tech it can mean bringing something up to date more broadly. Note the false friend: actual in Spanish means 'current' or 'present-day', NOT 'actual' (real) in English, so actualización is closer to 'updating' than 'actualization'.

Examples

"El teléfono instaló una actualización automáticamente."
