Moto G5 software / security updates

Anonymous
Not applicable

Just noticed my phone is still running Android 7 & the security patch is dated 1 Jan 17.

 

I know the G5 is still awaiting the Oreo update but 7.1.1 was released a few months ago & several security patches have also been released. Never had an Android phone before, so how do I go about getting these updates.

 

I’ve tried settings & it says it’s up to date.. but I know it isn’t.. (I’ve searched Google before I came here)

 

Your help is appreciated!

If it’s an o2 phone you will be waiting for o2 to release the updates.

I had to send my phone off for repair and O2 upgraded the security software to 1 August 2017, but we’re still stuck on 7.0...

 

what's the the point of having a system update checker on your phone if they aren’t released. fml

Hi are there any further updates on this?  Moto G5 still showing Nov 2017 security updates, and no mention of the Oreo update?

 

Motorolla says its pending partners, and o2 chat said it's for google to do, which doesnt seem right - can anyone shed any further light?

 

@Chris_K, you seem to be the in the know fellow in these parts - what are the chances?

 

 

Just got this from o2 guru

For Moto G5 it will be available on 25th June.
