It’s hard to say why Google is doing this instead of a recall.

    This is a shitshow. This is how you get people not to trust you and to go out of their way to disable automatic updates. Did Grapheneos also send the update?

      I don’t think grapheneos supports devices that old.

        It’s not so much how old - but how long the OEM (google) keeps bringing out updates for that platform (from memory)

          Yes, security updates from Google, which is based on age of the device.
