Did you update a frontend plugin but there's no visible change?
Did the change happen on your computer, but not on your phone?
In 11 cases out of 10 your browser is caching the old version (really 11, because sometimes it works, but then the cached version returns next time 🤷).

Here's how to clear the cache on most common browsers:
