The Essential Phone is among the first to receive the September security patch.
“We just released a software update that includes September Google Security Patches along with various audio and accessibility fixes,” said the company on its Twitter account. “Check your Essential Phone now for the update.”
Google releases new security patches for Android at the beginning of each month. Typically, its own Pixel and Nexus devices are first in line to receive the updated software.
Essential Products has made these security updates a priority, which is good news for end users. Essential Phone owners can update their device via the settings menu.
