Google announced the end of security updates for Android 12 after its four-year support lifecycle, impacting older devices significantly.
Previously, Google included Android 12 in their monthly security bulletins, providing crucial patches; however, this is no longer the case.
Although this affects a relatively small number of users, it highlights the importance of regularly updating operating systems for security reasons.
While some manufacturers might continue providing independent updates, upgrading to newer Android versions is strongly recommended for better security and continued support.
