Google posts April’s security update for Android

On Monday afternoon, Google posted the monthly Nexus Security Bulletin that says what the company is doing to protect Android devices worldwide.

The following Nexus devices are getting the April security update right now:

Nexus 5 (MMB29X)
Nexus 5X (MHC19Q)
Nexus 6 (MMB29X)
Nexus 6P (MHC19Q)
Nexus 7 2013 WiFi (MOB30D)
Nexus 7 2013 LTE (MMB29X)
Nexus 9 WiFi (MOB30D)
Nexus 9 LTE (MMB29X)
Nexus 10 (LMY49J)
Nexus Player (MOB30D)

Factory images can be downloaded from Google right here, and you can get instructions for installing them by reading this guide put together by our very own Brad Ward. If you’re patient, Google will have the aforementioned devices fully secured in the coming days and weeks through an over-the-air update. It should also appear for anyone using Android N after manually installing factory images or enrolling in the Android Beta Program.

Two devices not belonging to the Nexus line are already covered by the latest security update — the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge from T-Mobile, which received a software update even before April’s Nexus Security Bulletin went live, and the BlackBerry Priv.
