August 2026 Summaries

Miradore emphasizes that effective Android security depends on using supported operating system versions, keeping security patch levels current, and ensuring updates are actually installed across managed devices. As of May 1, 2026, Android versions 13 and later continue to receive security updates, while Miradore enables administrators to view individual device patch levels, generate reports, configure update policies, and identify devices with pending updates. The availability and control of updates vary by manufacturer, with Google offering defined support periods, Samsung providing extended support through Enterprise Edition and optional paid tools, and other vendors relying on OEMConfig applications or additional licenses. Organizations are therefore encouraged to enroll all devices in MDM, keep them regularly connected and powered on, and evaluate manufacturer update commitments and licensing requirements before purchasing hardware.
