It's a 437 MB update - seems large for just a security update.

I got the update today too, but it ticked me off.

It didnt ask me if I wanted to do the update or give me any option to delay or NOT do the up-date. It just started downloading it even though I wasnt on wifi at the time - using up my data unnecessarily.

After it started, I looked and couldn't find any setting to force the phone to only do up-dates when I was on wifi - did they take away that option?

Same. For once, I'm glad the mobile data where I work sucks, as I caught it at 2% and promptly turned off mobile data. Its a good thing I looked at it when I did.

It's a pretty disappointing update - the April security patch, and some updated on-screen instructions for the SIM tray, as well as not allowing the phone to charge when the USB port is wet. Still Android 7.0, and no changes to the camera processing/speed.

Verizon has consistently been putting out updates faster then the other carriers for the past few years.

Go Big Red.

I was also disappointed that I couldn't stop it from downloading on my network unless I turned on airplane mode. There was no option to pause it or cancel the download. This is very stupid on Lg's or Verizon's part.

There's a setting under Developer Options where you can turn off automatic system updates.

Thanks. I don't know how I missed this.
