Built around the customer-centric concept of Evolving with You,LG ThinQ UP appliances can incorporate new features throughout their life – providing more value to users,over time. LG will continuously develop easy-to-install software updates and hardware add-ons,delivering specialized options and new conveniences based on the usage patterns and suggestions of ThinQ UP appliance owners.

One of the custom features available to download in 2023,Laundry Saver Mode can be applied to dryer models with ThinQ UP. Extremely useful for those times when you can't unload the dryer right away,Laundry Saver keeps the drum tumbling after the cycle has finished (and until the dryer door is opened) to help prevent wrinkles and odors. Another feature on offer is Improved Nighttime Brightness Control for refrigerators with ThinQ UP,which makes the fridges' interior lighting softer at nighttime so as not to 'blind' users when they open the door. All new software features are optional,and can be easily downloaded from the LG ThinQ app.1
