I saw something quickly flashing up as a notification that said.. "Emergency Update", then it flashed off of the screen and I can't tell where the notification came from or what was updated.

Has anyone else had an update like this, if so what was updated? I'm using Orio on the Note 8.
 
Probably an update on a storm or flood warning. I've never seen an emergency update for the OS or an app.
 
I can't understand why it disappeared so fast. I've since downloaded an app that tracks notifications and I'm hoping the app will catch the notification if it pops up again.
 
I happened to be looking at the phone and saw an "Emergency Update" for the Samsung apps.
 
Update: I was reading an article from one of our local news outlets and got a "critical update" pop-up. It was a pop up in Chrome trying to get me to update the video player. It was masquerading as a Google Play update. I checked Google Play and there were no "critical updates" listed.

Is that what you are talking about?


Having experienced the false missile warning yesterday, I realize it wouldn't have been one of those alerts.
 
Yes, I ignore all popups about updates etc and manually go to settings and check for myself...
That missile thing must have been a bit tense. Fragrant moment there I imagine @gernerttl!

It was a bit tense. Mostly people being stupid and doing stupid things like shoving their kids down manholes or purposely running red lights. Nobody bothered to question the validity of the alert.
 
The update ended up being an emergency for a Samsung app. I can't imagine what Samsung app would need an emergency update
