Brad LinderWhen LG pulled out of the smartphone business the company committed to continue providing updates for select phones. Now the company is shutting down its update servers on June 30th. The LG Bridge PC app will also stop working on that date. <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/lg-smartphone-updates-3548804/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.androidauthority.com/lg-smartphone-updates-3548804/</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LG</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OSUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSUpdates</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SecurityUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SecurityUpdates</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a>
