Google’s latest security update for Android patches critical security flaws exploited by hackers

Google has released its April 2025 Android security update. The latest update addresses 62 vulnerabilities, including two zero-days that were actively exploited in targeted attacks. Google released two sets of security patches for April 2025: the 2025-04-01 and 2025-04-05 patch levels. The latter includes all fixes from the earlier update, along with additional patches for closed-source third-party components and kernel subcomponents, which may not apply to every Android device. Pixel devices receive these updates immediately, while other manufacturers typically require additional time to test and adapt the patches for their specific hardware setups.
