Google pushes a bunch of System updates as Android 13 starts rolling out
You may have already heard that Google has released Android 13 on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project). This means it is now on its way to millions of devices from dozens of brands. However, aside from this, the company continues to push Google System updates to Android devices. These updates don’t touch the OS side of things but make changes or improvements to various underlying systems that support the functioning of the device. Irrespective of when Android 13 arrives on your phone, Google will continue to roll out these System updates for Android devices every month.
