Google confirms the Android update – is your phone on this list?

Although the safety monthly updates of Google, Samsung and others write the titles, there is a quieter process in the background which is just as important. Google updates the basic System System System Android, which helps secure your phone.

Until now, the update of these services has been quite sporadic, with frequent reports of delays and late phones. Now Google is about to solve this problem, and for a billion Android users in particular, it’s essential.

By 9TO5GOOGLE“Google now adds a new” System Services “settings page to manage all background services installed on your Android device and update them more easily. This new” System Services “page lists all services / applications (with most of which have no user interfaces) from Google which will help maintain your phone or tablet.”

As Android authority Explains, while “most of these services are updated monthly, separate from the routine Android firmware updates”, this requires “download the latest updates for most of these applications or services via the Google Play Store”.

This will now change with this central update dashboard, which will guarantee that the phones are up to date even if the automatic updates of Play Stores are deactivated. The risk has always been that “some of these updates can be neglected although they are crucial” and “also addresses the fact that your Android device is never really up to date”.

Thanks to 9TO5GOOGLEThe services that will be updated include:

• Adaptive connective services
• Android System Intelligence
• Android system key verifier
• Android system SAFETYCORE
• Cross services
• Device connectivity service
• Device health services
• Google Play services
• Google Play services for AR
• Parameter services

In a critical way, as indicated by Android authority“The dashboard of the system services takes place on devices running Android 6 Marshmallow or later.”

This occurs while warnings continue for billions of Android users performing Android 12 or more, since Google no longer provides monthly security updates. The company has also updated its Play integrity game API to differentiate Android 13 or more recent.

The figures are austere. You will find below the list of Android OS versions and market share between Android 6 and Android 12, which all need this last update instead of upgrading their equipment, which should actually be a priority.
