How to Backup and Update Your LG Phone Before Servers Shut Down
1 min read
Summary
LG servers will be decommissioned from 30th June 2025, rendering all LG phones obsolete as users will not be able to download updates.
The company originally exited the smartphone industry in 2021, but had promised three years of updates for eligible devices.
At the time of decommissioning, the last system update was for Android 12.
It is recommended that users back up and update their LG phones before the cut-off date, although the chances are that most users will have already updated to a newer device.
The impending shutdown will also affect the LG Bridge PC software, which will no longer be available.
Suggested solutions for users who have not yet updated their LG phones are to use third-party sources for updates and apps, but the potential risks of doing so should be carefully considered.
It is advisable to back up your device before attempting any updates from third-party sources.
