Hi guys, when using StateFlow .E.g

val uiState = MutableStateFlow(MyUiState.Empty)
uiState.value = MyUiState.Loading
uiState.update { MyUiState.Loading }

What is the difference using uiState.value and uiState.update

I think in this case there's no difference.

You can read or write value atomically, but if you want a read+write to be one atomic operation you can use update. So if you do flow.value = flow.value + 1 there's a chance that you get the wrong result if another thread modifies flow.value at the same time. With flow.update { it + 1 } you're guaranteed that flow's value gets increased by 1.
