This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Motorola Moto G42. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Motorola Moto G42 in detail
How many years of updates does the Motorola Moto G42 get?
Released in June 2022, the Motorola Moto G42 received security patches until June 2025: 3 years in total.
Among the 155 Motorola phones in our database, 37 were supported for less time and 68 for longer. The median is 3 years.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 1 year and 4 months ago.
Can I keep using the Motorola Moto G42?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after June 2025 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
