Lifeguard for Android Updates
LifeGuard™ for Android™ is Zebra’s software security solution that extends the lifecycle of Zebra Android enterprise mobile computers. It's a convenient way to receive extended security support, predictable periodic security updates and legacy OS security support when transitioning to a newer OS.
Device updates are an important way to keep your Android devices secure and running at their full potential. All customers are encouraged to accept these updates to their devices.
Lifeguard Security Bulletins
Note: delivery time of security updates may vary depending on the region, product model, and third party software suppliers. While Zebra makes every attempt to align release of security updates with chipset vendor security bulletins, some patches may require additional time to ensure adequate quality review. Patches will be included in the next scheduled update as ready. Please see individual device support pages for specific guidance.
While Zebra is doing our best to deliver LifeGuard™ for Android™ security patches on a timely basis, we are experiencing delays due to COVID-19. All Zebra LifeGuard patches go through extensive testing within Zebra, are then submitted to a Google certified test laboratory for mandatory retest/verification, and then submitted to Google for final release approval. Unfortunately, many of the Google certified test laboratories have been forced to close due to COVID-19. Zebra does not yet have dates on when the test labs will re-open. Zebra will work to keep you informed as the conditions change. Zebra wishes all our customers and partners great safety and health in these challenging times.
