Just found out today that my Samsung S9 no longer gets updates

Post by Executioner »

Actually, it was last year that I received my last update.
The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, Samsung's flagship phones from 2018, has reached the end of life (EoL). Both phones won't receive any new software updates from Samsung anymore, with the March 2022 security update being the last one.
Never received notification. Also, phone updates for Samsung are only good for 4 years. So I'm not going to shell out $1000 for another new phone when this one works just fine. I decided to install Malwearbytes. Cost? $15/year. It runs in the background like the PC version. It did a complete scan of my phone and found nothing. I'll see how long this will last until I get notifications about my mobile banking apps that will no longer work on this phone, then I'll be forced to get a new phone.
