ANDROID users are advised to update their devices now as Google has just released its June 2022 security updates.
Google released patches for 41 problems in Android 10, 11, and 12.

Five of the 41 problems are said to be critical.
One of the critical flaws could lead to a cybercriminal completely taking over your device.
That flaw is called CVE-2022-20210 and could allow a cybercriminal to run an execution code on your device.
Some of the other flaws could allow malware to sneak onto your Android without you noticing.
Google hasn’t revealed much about the flaws.
It’s not common for security teams to fully explain flaws they’re patching because they don’t want to encourage bad actors to exploit them before users update.
The good news is that none of the flaws are known to be being actively exploited.
Updates should be available in the Settings section of your Android device.

It’s likely you’ll get a notification telling you to update if you haven’t already.
If you’re using an older Android device that no longer receives security updates you should still try and protect yourself from threat actors.
Some third-party apps on the Google Play Store offer the latest Android patches.
It’s also advisable to have extra security software on your device.
