Common questions and answers
This section answers common questions that may occur after reading this
bulletin.
1. How do I determine if my device is updated to address these
issues?
To learn how to check a device's security patch level, read the instructions on the
Google device update schedule
.
Security patch levels of 2024-05-01 or later address all issues associated with the 2024-05-01 security patch level.
Device manufacturers that include these updates should set the patch string level to:
- [ro.build.version.security_patch]:[2024-05-01]
For some devices on Android 10 or later, the Google Play system update
will have a date string that matches the 2024-05-01
security patch level.
