LG phones are losing support soon, here are your options

LG smartphone users need to act now as the company will be shutting down its update servers on June 30, 2025. After this date, LG smartphones will no longer receive official Android updates or have access to LG’s software management tools, as reported by Android Authority.

This shutdown will impact the Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) upgrade service, the Update Center app service, and the LG Bridge PC software. Users will no longer be able to manage their devices, backup data, or install updates via a computer after midnight Korea time (GMT +9) on June 30.

It is essential for LG smartphone users to install any pending updates before the deadline and secure their data using LG Bridge before the servers go offline.

Although it is understandable that LG is ending support after leaving the mobile market, this serves as a final reminder for users to update their devices and prepare for the end of official software support. Beyond June 30th, no further official updates or support will be provided by LG.

In 2021, LG announced its departure from the smartphone industry. The LG Wing 5G, released in October 2020, is often remembered as the last flagship device showcasing LG’s innovation with its unique swiveling dual-screen design. Other notable phones released before the company’s exit include the design-focused LG Velvet series, the multimedia-centric LG V60 ThinQ 5G, the stylus-equipped budget-friendly LG Stylo 6, and the mid-range 5G-enabled LG K92 5G.

While there were reports of LG considering reentering the smartphone market late last year, that has not yet materialized.

There are plenty of Android-based smartphone options available for LG users to explore, including devices from Samsung, OnePlus, Google, and more.
