Quote The Android Security Bulletin contains details of security vulnerabilities affecting Android devices. Security patch levels of 2019-07-05 or later address all of these issues. To learn how to Check and update your Android version. (https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705) https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-07-01 I'm sure a lot of us here have been using our mobile phone as crypto wallet. So I urge everyone to update so that you are protected from such attacks due do this vulnerabilities. Hackers is one step ahead of the game so better be always on the lookout and update everything. "Better be safe than sorry".

As far I know it is not something like Windows OS which have regular updates for many years. Instead of constant upgrades, manufacturers just make new models of phones with newest version of Android.
It is not advisable to keep larger amounts of coins in mobile wallets, it is always better to send some amount to mobile wallet in time when you really have to pay something directy in physical shop, or in case of selling on ATMs. Title: Re: Reminder: Android Security Bulletin—July 2019 Post by: LTU_btc on July 03, 2019, 07:41:37 PM I just checked and update isn't available for my phone now. Probably it will be released only in the end of this month. Was it there meaningful Android security vulnerabilities recently that makes this update important? Because as I understand it's judt common monthly security update. And @Lucius have good point, these updates is only available for relatively new phones. If you have older phone you won't get updates. Phone manufacturers are doing it to force us to buy new phone models.
