Before you do anything, make sure that you have not downloaded a phishing version or from anywhere other than the official website.

Most likely, either one of the words is misspelled or you wrote it and it is similar to a correct word such as account accuse. You will find a list of all the words ---> https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt If your word is not in the list, then Edit it to the closest word in that list or the order of the words is wrong or added more than one space between the letters.

Where did you get the update link from and when did you perform the update? There is a possibility you got a phishing link and inputed your seedphrase there.

Import the seedphrase into another wallet and check ifgthe funds are there or check the address on an explorer.

You should  check for typos in the phrase maybe you are missing a word or it's rearrangement issues. Just like @ hugeblack said, check the list of words on GitHub and see if you had spelt any one incorrectly. And also you should know that seedphrases are not case sensitive (only passphrase but that's not your case) This means you should be able to enter the recovery phrase with either uppercase or lowercase letters without any impact on its validity

You should not storing your seedphrase in Google to avoid cases of hack or being compromised. You should write it down and store in a safe place and avoid storing it online. I don't think that's your case now. Like I said, you might have store the wrong word or you experiencing some typos

The errors is obvious. Do you have any device aside from android? Because obviously it has an error based on your screenshots. Try to use desktop. If you don't have any desktop/computer. Import your seed on Myetherwallet (MEW) app on android it will work the same.

What issue with Google?

Maybe you should delete the wallet, download and install it again and input the seed phrase to know if it will work. You can also try it on other wallet and check if it works or not.

If the seed phrase is also invalid on the other wallets, that means you imported invalid seed phrase. Maybe you do not get some words accurately. Check your backup again.

I would even start with a fresh new browser, + a fresh extension install, without a cache.

I would say that this has nothing to do with any update or error with a third party Google. Obviously, the seed phrase is invalid, google does not need to deal with seed phrase accuracy at any time.

How did you get this error?

Have you tried to create a new wallet, from the beginning and only for testing purposes, and then activate it on another installation?

There are no changes in the seed phrases asked and provided by Metamask. Maybe you have jumbled your seed phrase as part of confusing an intruder just in case that bad actor sees your seed? I have just checked my metamask wallet and I have no update at all and there's no announcement about such. Is that error still existing today?

I don't see any reason why you need to force yourself to use Metamask when there are many wallets that support BIP39, as long as you correctly save the 12 words, you can retrieve your token from other wallets.

It's same on my side too, I check the official website and didn't see the red warning message.

And that's why I have no idea what's happening to him. If the error still exists, it's best for him to just contact the support of Metamask and have a conversation about the error that he's getting. If not, he has to check what everyone has said and check the actual wallet if it's the genuine one or he just downloaded a wrong one but I doubt that someone will download the wrong one if he's into the market for so long. One solution is to try it with other wallet importing his seed and if it's a success, move his fund asap.

@OP Contact me privately and the problem has been solved. It is related to a spelling error of 'company' wallet seed word.
