Requesting updates

To ask someone (especially an organization, team member, or service provider) to continue providing relevant news as it becomes available.

When involved in projects that span time periods without immediate communication; e.g., awaiting contract status changes, project milestones, or decision outcomes.

Professional/business settings and informal/personal communications where regular follow‑up is expected.

Keep; posted

Keep; posted

The person being addressed can vary: you, him/himself, your team/partner, or even plural forms like us/us all.

• on
• about
• regarding
• often combined with adverbial phrases such as "regularly"
• "as soon as possible"

• Keep me in the loop / Keep me updated (more casual)
• Let me know how it goes (informal).

'Keep me post' – omitting the past‑participle form ‘posted’ is a frequent error.

Fill me in on what happened, Bring me up to speed – these convey similar update requests but are less formal or more specific about recent events.

‘Posted’ here functions idiomatically as an action verb meaning “to be informed,” not its literal postal sense; learners from languages without this usage may misinterpret it.

• Keep me in the loop
• I'll keep you apprised

The phrase implies a continued relationship and willingness of both parties to share updates, often used in collaborative contexts where ongoing communication is valued.

Signals the speaker’s desire for continuous involvement and reassurance that they will remain aware of progress or changes affecting them.

Ongoing updates

This chunk is commonly used in both formal and informal settings to request ongoing updates or information, and its usage implies a desire for continuous involvement and reassurance.

Please apprise me of any developments (formal)
