However, not all devices are currently patched with Samsung telling users to check the settings menu to make sure their phone is fully updated and safe from this threat.
“While a number of Samsung devices have already been patched starting in January of 2021, most Samsung devices with an Android Security Patch Level of May 1, 2021 or later, will be considered protected from the disclosed vulnerability,” the firm said in a post on its security page.
“Samsung encourages all users to ensure their devices are updated once the patch becomes available for the devices.”
To make sure your Galaxy phone has the latest software simply head to Settings >Software Update. Here you should find if the phone has any installs pending. If your phone needs an upgrade simply tap “Download and install” to get things underway.
