They have the same meaning :) but "understand" is better because it's more proper than "I get it"

Sometimes I think "Understand" have to do with "comprehension"

Do you understand? (a situation)
yes, i understand

Get* more to check if the person captured all information

Did you got (what it was said)
Yes, I got it (all details)

what do you say?

thanks

That's right because you can't say "Did you get the situation?" because it would sound weird. But I still prefer to use "understand" whenever I can without sounding weird because "get" is casual.

Ok,

let me see if I understood) got it?

I can say Understand" in any frase without the necessity using get?

Get is just a option?

thanks again

It's actually "phrase" and not "frase" :)

And yeah "get" is an option. It's used when you want to sound rude or sarcastic, as in: "Do you get it now?"

But never ever say "Somebody should get this!"

Because "get" has other meanings and the listener/s might get confused
