Android Security Updates.

I check My Moto G Stylus 2024 every few weeks for any Security Updates.

My phone's last update was Nov 13, 2024 with the Android Patch being Oct 1, 2024. I've found updates usually come out at the end of the month, with the first of that month showing as the Patch Date.

However, checking Motorola Canada's Website, it shows there was an update both in Nov and Dec.

My Samsung SM-F741W (Flip 6) from Koodo, has received updates Nov, Dec, and just now for Jan.

So what's up? I know updates are usually OTA by the carriers. Is Fizz really slow on these?

    Hi @MikeyJAB,

    Updates are rolled out by the phone manufacturer (Sansung, LG,...). If you haven't received any updates recently, it's because the manufacturer hasn't rolled out any new updates for your phone model.

    I don't think it's Fizz's fault.

    @MikeyJAB,

    Here : https://en-ca.support.motorola.com/app/software-security-update

    You can read :

    Android Security Updates

    Motorola provides security updates that include patches released by Google and
    third parties that address security vulnerabilities and threats.

    So, I suggest you contact Motorola support.

    Thank You for Your help.

    System updates for the Moto Stylus 2024 is a separate menu itself in Settings Menu.

    Still I doubled checked in the About Phone tab, it wasn't there.

    I check it every couple weeks. It says I'm on the latest update. It's weird to me there would be no update for the past nearly 3 months.

    I did check with Moto before I posted here. I was on the same page as Your link, and I called. They were not helpful. I know it will receive Bi-monthly updates. But the last one was listed Oct 1.

    I'm hoping one will pop up in the next few days. But it's more the fact their own website said there has been two updates. Granted I couldn't tell which models it included.
