Tech Companies Offer Regular Updates to Secure Android Phones

Samsung, LG and Google offer monthly updates to Android users in order prevent security breaches, Android users rejoice the presence of added security in a previously insecure environment

When last month a major flaw in the code of the Android operating system was discovered, the world’s Android users suddenly became extremely paranoid. It was only natural that some paranoia would settle in, especially when you consider the fact that this flaw in the Android operating system put hundreds of millions of Android users at the risk of being hacked and having all of their personal information stolen.

In order to assuage their users’ fear, major companies that are tied to the Android brand, companies like LG and Samsung whose phones feature the Android operating system and of course Google itself, the company that has created the operating system are all offering Android users monthly updates. These updates will be used to patch holes in the operating system’s security, fix any glitches that could allow hackers in and, most importantly, keep the operating system running smoothly and without any of the frequent glitches that many people had begun to associate with the Android brand after a period of shoddy performance.

This is a welcome move from these companies, as in an era where the vast majority of personal information can be found online there can be no limit to the amount of safety precautions you can take as far as technology goes.
