Googlebook devices receive automatic updates that improve software and hardware security and performance. To provide the highest level of security and stability, Google works closely with non-Google hardware and software partners to regularly test compatibility across all devices.
Understand the auto update policy
Googlebook OS devices receive 10 years of updates from their platform release date. With every update, your device becomes more secure and stable, helping it last longer.
To ensure updates are compatible, Google works directly with component manufacturers (like processors and Wi-Fi) to develop and test software for every Googlebook OS device.
What happens after the final update
Even when your Googlebook no longer receives automatic updates, it still uses secure mode. Every time your device starts up, it performs a self-check. If it detects tampering or corruption, it typically repairs itself and reverts to its original state.
After your device receives its final automatic update:
- Existing and future policies might not work as intended.
- Google no longer provides technical support.
Tip: Review the device support dates listed on this page before you buy a Googlebook to choose the best option for your needs.
