No it won't enforce an update It's reminding you not just because of improvement in function but also because your Android device is increasing less secure leaving the older OS running. Ultimately it's the users call when or if to install. &nbsp;Developer mode may stop the nag but further drops your protection against malicious code as it gives additional access the the system kernel.

Is there a way to stop the constant android nag to upgrade to a later version of OS, im using ver 6 and happy with it, i read somewhere that enabling developer mode would help in this respect, so far i just keep postponing the update, but will it eventually force the update?

android update nag

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
