THE FUSE

Your smartphone is one of the most personal devices you own, filled with data that you want to keep as secure as possible. While each brand handles support differently, it's important that your phone — be it one you just bought or one you've owned for a while — gets security updates. An unsupported phone is a liability, not just an inconvenience. Knowing where your device stands is one of the best steps you can take to protect your data. After all, the only thing worse than seeing that persistent "update available" notification is realizing it'll never pop up again.
