any security updates?

[Chris Rosas]

Hi it's been a month since I had my Galaxy S8 and back when I had my Galaxy S7 I would get security updates every month. So I was wondering if anyone has received any security updates for the last two couple of months?

updates aren't Samsung's forte

Security updates every month on Samsung phone? What carrier are you on? What you are mentioning is more of a dream Land.

But it gets better when carriers are involved.

No. It's actually reality.

Why worry about a security update. unless your always on public networks downloading from unknown sources.

 

[That70sGAdawg]

The unlocked phone should be updated direct from Samsung no matter what carrier but I'm looking at 7.0 with an April security update as if today.

 

[doggy2965]

I'm on Verizon so monthly updates aren't their forte either

 

[Smply_Rckless]

Just received mine for may. I'm on T-Mobile. Haven't noticed any other changes. Freed up some storage tho lol

 

[Wbutchart]

I'm on three in the uk, no updates here either. 7.0 with April security.

Some critical vulnerabilities let an attacker take over your phone just because of a website you visit or a media file you play. In fact, Google's May 1 update--which we don't yet have as of June 6--patches several such vulnerabilities:

T-Mobile's AQEF version released today includes May 1st security update and Stability and Bixby updates.

June Security Update was released just this Monday for Pixel and Nexus, so technically, our phones are "up to date". No excuses for not having 7.1.1 already though, I know that it may not be night and day in features compared to 7.0, but more than 7 months after it was released, there's really no excuse as of to why Samsung (and a lot of other OEMs BTW, but Samsung is the bigger one here) hasn't released it to their Flagship phones.

I will be very curious to see how long it takes the Unlocked versions to receive this update. So far nada

I received the May 1 security patch (AQEJ) on June 1 on a S8+ on Telus.

While maybe they're not monthly, Verizon is one of the better carriers (dare I say best carrier) for Android security patches for the first year of a "flagship" device's life.

May 1st patch on T-Mobile arrived this morning.

 

[oneformula]

Would have to disagree and say Sprint
