+## Why keep libphonenumber-csharp up to date?
+A lot of the functionality depends on updated metadata that is published by the google repository, see example [here](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/releases/tag/v8.13.55).
+
+This means that if you don't keep the package up to date, methods like `IsValidNumber` will return false for newer numbers that rely on the updated metadata
+
+Therefore, we recommend you keep this nuget package as up to date as possible using automated means (such as dependabot) as metadata changes published by the google repository is frequent, usually a few times a month.
+
+For more information on metadata usage, please refer to the [main repository faq](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/blob/master/FAQ.md#metadata)
