Question Why is my phone indicating that there is an update??

[groston]

My phone is a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 13, build TQ3A.230605.012. The phone was rooted quite a while ago and I disabled everything that allows the phone to update the OS and apps. However, for the past few days, at around 6:00 pm EST, a window appears on the phone indicating "Restart now to finish the update - Your system is 4 days out of date".

What the heck is going on??? Needless to say, I am truly scared that if I restart my phone, then root will go away. Please advise me as to what the heck is going on.

It might be a Google Play system update, which is separate from the monthly security patches. Go to your system settings, then Security & Privacy>System & Updates>Google Play system update, and see if that's prompting you.
