If you have a new Samsung phone or Google Pixel phone, you should disable VoLTE and WiFi calling until your device is patched. Otherwise, attackers could take over your phone without you even knowing. Yikes. The latest March security bulletin that just rolled out for the Pixel 7 line fixes this, but the Pixel 6 line has not gotten the update, yet, but should soon. Samsung... 👀

Right. The update just rolled out this week for Pixel phones. I got it Monday.


Nice!!! This had me worried lmao


Google Pixel 7 Pro. 🤙🏻


The article I read might be a few weeks old.


I've got Pixel 6 pro and still no patch. Last was in February and I am in US. Dammit


Samsung has historically been the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Android updates to their bastardized software platform. Their hardware is great though, it's just bogged down by their horrible software UI.
