Is my device up to date?

Pick your device and tell us what is installed. We compare it with the latest version Apple has published, or with the patch rhythm of your Android brand.

iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch

Settings → General → About → iOS Version (or iPadOS). On a watch: Watch app → General → About.

Android

Settings → About phone → Android version → Android security update. The path varies a little by brand.

How we answer

For an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, we read every day the latest version published for each branch of the system (iOS 27, iOS 26, iOS 18…) and the last branch your model accepts. An iPhone XS stops at iOS 18, so we compare it with the latest iOS 18 patch.

On Android, the month of the security patch matters more than the system version. Google publishes a security bulletin every month. Samsung lists which models get patches monthly, quarterly or twice a year, and Pixels follow the monthly rhythm. Past one and a half times that rhythm, we call it late.

Other brands (Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus, Sony…) publish no schedule per model. We then go by the age of the patch alone, and we say so. When our data cannot settle it, the answer is “we don't know”.

Common questions

How do I see my iOS version?

Open Settings, then General, then About. The “iOS Version” line gives the number, for example 18.6.2. On an iPad it is the same, with iPadOS. For an Apple Watch, open the Watch app on the iPhone, then General and About.

Where do I find the Android security patch level?

In Settings, then About phone, then Android version (Software information on Samsung). The “Android security update” line shows a date such as July 1, 2026. The month is what counts. The older it is, the more known and unpatched flaws your phone carries.

My device no longer offers any update. Why?

Either it is up to date, or its maker has stopped supporting it. Each brand sets a support period after the model's release, from two years for some budget Android phones to seven years for recent Pixels and Galaxys. Once that period is over, nothing more arrives, even if the phone still works fine. Your model's page gives the date.

Is an older version that still gets patches good enough?

Apple sometimes patches an older branch, such as iOS 18 for iPhones that cannot move to iOS 27. Those patches fix the most serious flaws, not all of them. If your device accepts the latest version, that one protects you best.
