Well well. It’s that time of the month when Google starts rolling out security patch for the Nexus and Pixel devices. In a bid to keep the Android OS secure, Google rolls out security patch every month, and, Google has started rolling out this month’s security patch as well.
Google has released two Android security patches for this month. One is dated July 1, 2017 and the other is dated July 5, 2017. The first patch is a partial patch which contains partial security strings. This one’s meant for Google’s partners so that they can push the patch to their own devices.
