LG smartphones will lose update support in June
LG used to make Android smartphones. Emphasis on "used to." If you still have one lying around (or in active use), you're running out of opportunities to download any software or security updates for it.
That's because LG is shutting down the update servers for its old smartphones on June 30, per Android Authority. This won't just affect updates you download directly to the phone; LG is also shutting down the LG Bridge PC app that users could previously use to manage software updates and backups from a computer. After the end of June, you won't be able to update your LG phone in any way whatsoever, so you better do it now.
LG officially exited the smartphone business back in 2021, despite the fact that it was working on a genuinely kinda cool-looking rollable phone concept at the time. When the shutdown was announced, LG promised three years of security updates for anyone still hanging onto an LG phone. Those three years have since come and gone, and now any LG phone owners are strictly in the wilderness.
