Software updates for a popular Samsung smartphone series used by millions of users worldwide have been discontinued.
According to a foreign news agency, Samsung has stopped issuing security updates for the Galaxy S21 series, which was introduced in 2021. The company had committed to providing Android upgrades for four years and security updates for five years; however, this period has now expired.
As noted by the technology website TechRadar, Samsung has updated its official security update page and removed the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, and Galaxy S21 Ultra from the list of devices receiving updates.
The end of these updates means that these phones will no longer receive new software features or improvements. Without security updates, these devices may become more vulnerable to cyberattacks, hacking, and fraud.
Experts warn that, over time, the lack of updates may cause some apps to stop supporting these phones, potentially leading to further issues for users.
