You have two months left to update your old LG phone

Time is running out for people who are still using LG phones to download any remaining Android updates before their devices are fully retired. After closing its Android phone business back in 2021, Android Authority has spotted that LG is now preparing to shut down its update servers for good on June 30th, 2025, advising customers that software updates will be completely inaccessible after this date.

The end-of-service announcement was expected — when LG exited the smartphone industry, it promised existing customers that Velvet, Wing, and G- and V- series phones from 2019 or later would receive three years of Android updates from their year of release.

That means only security patches and upgrades to Android 12 or Android 13 are available, depending on the devices, but LG has left its update servers active for longer than the deadline it promised. Functioning LG phones should still work after the servers are shut down, but this serves as a final death knell, as they’ll be unable to receive any future improvements or security fixes.

The LG Bridge PC software is also shutting down at the end of June, which is used to transfer files and contacts from LG phones, alongside support for updates, backups, and device restoration.
