April 2023 Android Update: Security Fixes You Need

by | Apr 5, 2023 | Security

Hi Guys,

Google has released an important update for Android phones in April 2023. This update fixes more than 65 security problems, including two serious ones that could allow hackers to take control of your phone.

The update is divided into two parts. The first part fixes 26 issues in Android’s Framework and System areas. Most of these are high-risk problems that could give hackers more power over your phone or expose your private information.

The second part of the update takes care of 40 more issues in different parts of Android, like the kernel and components made by companies like Arm, MediaTek, and Qualcomm. Four of these problems are very serious.

Google didn’t announce a security update for Pixel phones at the same time as the Android update. But, Pixel users got an update in March, even though they had to wait a few extra days.

To keep your Android phone safe, follow these steps to update it:

  1. Open the “Settings” app on your phone.
  2. Scroll down and tap “System.”
  3. Tap “Advanced.”
  4. Tap “System Update.”
  5. Follow the instructions on your screen to update your phone.

Let me know if you need anything at all,

Thanks,

Max
