But look at the date of the update it says February 1 2025 well I didn't get it until the 22 of February. If it is a Security update plus more then this is far from acceptable. As the update is finished by the first of each month but not delivered till almost the end of the month. Does that mean that our phones are unsecure for 20 some days a month? Why not release the Security part on the first and have a different update called maybe performance update at the end of the month? I assume the hold up is the performance and bug fix part of the update.

The date is always the same, the 1st of the month. I'm not sure why; just say the month and no date, as they are often late. This is also true of Google Play updates; they are similarly named but can arrive at the beginning or end of the month, especially for older devices, as newer models are usually prioritized. My understanding is that the phones are still secure, and the patches are something that they think could potentially be a vulnerability in the future. However, im not very familiar with this, so if anyone can give a more accurate explanation or correct me if im wrong, please do 🙏😊
