To be precise, 30% of you are currently running android 11, which is a piece of great news from the security viewpoint. A slightly further 37.7% are currently running a bit older android 10, which is not ideal but pretty good. It’s because a few OEMs are pretty slow in order to update their devices and eventually drop support.
Also, some of you are still on android 9, which is an outdated OS version and not good from a security standpoint. Sadly, Google does not update its android distribution numbers anymore, even via android studio.
