After June this year, LG smartphones will not be receiving updates anymore
So, LG bowed out of the smartphone game back in 2021, which is 4 years ago, but props to them still breathing life into software support until now because the Korean brand has announced they are pulling out all plugs and ditching everything starting June 30.
Back then, they had promised Android 12 update for certain models as well as several security patches for at least three years after launch, and yeah, they upheld their end of the bargain, and it’s time to let it go.
Earlier this month, the notice came through with a very standard user thanking opening and confirming that all update-related services will be discontinued globally by June 30, 2025, at midnight Korea time. They even warned that default apps deleted during a factory reset won’t be recoverable since app update services are also going offline.
So, got one of your LG phones lying around that you aren’t willing to part ways due to reasons? Then be sure to get the last update while you can.
Here’s the official notice formatted for clarity by 9to5Google:
[Notice] Termination of mobile software service
We sincerely thank all customers who have always supported LG Electronics mobile phone products. Hereby, we hereby make the following termination notice for LG Electronics mobile phone software upgrade (FOTA), update center and LG Bridge. The following are the explanations:

After the termination of this service, software upgrade service will no longer be provided. If necessary, please upgrade the software before the termination of service on June 30, 2025. (The termination of service includes all software upgrade services including service center upgrades). Since the APP update service is no longer provided, the default APP deleted during initialization cannot be downloaded.
