Magisk, the popular Android root management system, allows users to toggle update checks. While disabling the 'Check Updates' option seems straightforward, the current implementation presents some inconsistencies. Users report that even with updates disabled, a pending update might still be displayed, leading to confusion. This occurs because the app may have already checked for updates prior to the user disabling this feature.

Currently, a workaround exists to fully disable updates: force closing and clearing Magisk app data, disabling device internet access, toggling off updates within the Magisk app, and finally, re-enabling internet access. While this workaround functions, it suggests a disconnect between user expectations and the app's behavior.

From a user experience perspective, several improvements could be implemented: 1) Upon disabling updates, the 'Update' button should disappear entirely, making the user's intention clear. 2) The 'Latest' version field should be either removed or replaced with a clear indicator that updates are disabled. Currently, showing a potentially outdated 'Latest' version can mislead users into thinking an update is available when it's not.

These changes would not only enhance user experience but also align Magisk's functionality more accurately with user expectations.
