A nonprofit security group issued an alert this week telling Google Android smartphone users to update their systems as soon as possible due to “multiple vulnerabilities” that could allow for an attacker to remotely install programs or delete data.

So far, March’s updates have already rolled out for some of Samsung’s Galaxy phones but not all. If your Android device is slated to have been updated but the patch hasn’t arrived, one can try updating manually. Users can go to the Settings app, touch “Software update,” and then tap “Download and install.” If the latest update doesn’t appear, it likely means the update hasn’t been rolled out for that device yet.
