Here is how you can toggle off automatic updates on your Android phone: Settings > System > About Phone > Software Info > Tap "Build Number" rapidly until it says Developer Mode is enabled > Go Back Twice To Previous Menu (System) > Developer Options > Toggle Off Automatic System Updates

Since Apple may be updating phones so they cannot receive Emergency Alerts, it is entirely possible Google-owned Android may do the same. I hope this helps you pedes. Let me know if you have any questions. I am not a tech genius, just learned how to do this and thought it vitally important to share.
Thanks!!!! I was trying to find this on my android. After a few bypasses my phone will automatically do the system update.
Thanks. I was wondering if Android had an update off switch.
PS - On some phones you may have to use the search bar in the system tab to find the "about" and "developer options."
I just found how to do in on an I phone;
In settings, open General. Scroll down to software Update. Open and find Automatic Updates and toggle off.
I hope this is another false report, but who knows.
I don't have an android, but I appreciate this and will save it just in case I know someone who does. This is one of my favorite things about this site -- all the good and helpful info pedes post. Much appreciated.
Glad to help! I hope this gets stickied. I think it's stupid overcomplicated for android users to avoid auto updates. A lot of pedes need to see this.
Well, any time the bad guys can make things worse, they do. And google are the bad guys.
Or just go to system updates and turn it off...
No there is no option for that on my android phone. It lets you see the date of your previous update and lets you sync to get the latest update. There is no option to turn off the automatic updates
Same here
