Everything now changes — here's what you do.
There’s bad news for more than a billion Android users this month. The apps on your phone may start to fail. This is deliberate, and follows a huge change Google has just made to the way Play Store operates. That’s not the only issue. Those same billion users also now face a critical new security threat, after another change from Google.
All this stems from the Android OS version running on your phone. While the Android 15 upgrade and latest Android 16 beta steal the headlines, more than half of all Android users still run phones on Android 12 or older. Take a look at Android’sand you’ll spot that while Android 12 was updated with critical fixes in March, come April and May that stopped. Only Android 13, 14 and 15 received updates.is a major concern for those users. CVE-2025-27363 has only been fixed for Android 13 and 14.
If you’re sticking with Android 12, then make sure you run good security software on your device — and be prepared for some apps to stop working properly from this month.
