An android security update is an update that occurs primarily to gear towards improving securities and also to fix bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered why android asks for updates every month? Android apps ask for updates once a month as they work daily on their app and try to improve it and fix the remaining issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
