In Brazil, 'atualização manual' is a common term in technology contexts, especially among IT professionals and software developers. The phrase reflects the contrast between user-controlled updates and system-automatic updates. In corporate environments, manual updates are often preferred for critical systems to ensure control and prevent unexpected downtime. In Portugal, the term is used identically, though some older speakers might use 'à mão' (by hand) colloquially.
