There is useful news for Android smartphone users. A decision by Google has put crores of Android smartphone users in tension. Security updates for some Android operating systems have been stopped by Google.

If you are using an Android smartphone then there is useful news for you. If you are working on an old Android operating system, then your data may be in danger. Actually, a big step has been taken by Google. The company has stopped supporting smartphones running on Android 12 or Android 12L operating systems. Security updates will no longer be available on smartphones running on these operating systems.

Hackers can take advantage of Google's decision

This decision of Google has created a big tension for crores of Android smartphone users. Not getting security updates from Google simply means that the security of such phones will be reduced. Taking advantage of this, hackers and scammers can easily access the smartphone. If your phone is also running on an old Android version, then you should be careful.

Due to lack of security updates, many types of bugs also start coming in smartphones, due to which the performance of the phone also goes down. Let us tell you that Google releases updates for its smartphone users every month. Security updates increase the security of the phone and also eliminate the problem of bugs present in the phone.

Google gives updates only for a limited time

Let us tell you that Google keeps the security update on every smartphone for a specific period. The company generally updates an Android version only for 3 to 4 years. You can use the smartphone even after not getting the update, but there is also a high risk of such phones being hacked. If you are using online payment or banking apps on the phone, then you should immediately update your phone to the latest Android version.
