--explanation--

Could and might are modal verbs used to talk about possibilities.

Could means something is possible but not certain. For example:

This update could make the app run faster. - The update has the potential to improve the app's speed.

Might also expresses possibility but often suggests a lower chance than could. For example:

The new feature might improve the user experience. - It is possible that the feature will make the experience better.
