  Hi there,

  If you are using WordPress.com, you do not need to update to the latest version. That is only for the self-hosted version of WordPress on WordPress.org. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
