LG left the smartphone industry in 2021, and the company laid out a three-year plan to continue supporting users with new updates for eligible phone models. That support has continued for a little longer than the pledged time, and now LG is shutting down their smartphone update servers on June 30.

At the end of June, LG smartphones will no longer be able to install new Android OS updates. This means users will be limited to the version they downloaded prior to the servers being shut down.
Even if you’re downloading before the servers shut down, you can only upgrade to Android 12 or Android 13 and download any missing security patches, depending on your device.
LG is also shutting down the LG Bridge PC app. This piece of software allows users to manage their phone’s contacts, images and videos on a desktop. More importantly, the app interfaces with LG smartphones to create data backups and install software updates. The LG Bridge software is also getting sunsetted on June 30.
A representative for LG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
