For Android updates, a\u00a0<em>staged roll-out \u00a0<\/em>is followed by the manufacturers. Therefore, if a security update is released today, it is not necessary that your Android smartphone will receive the update the same day. Sometimes, Android updates are rolled-out at a country level. So, a Canadian resident might not receive the update but people living in the United States might. In this case, if you are living in the United States, you can capture the OTA Update URL, share the same with your friend living in Canada, and help him enjoy the update as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3638\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3638\" class=\"wp-image-3638\" src=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/g4.png\" alt=\"copy ota update url\" width=\"336\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/g4.png 683w, https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/g4-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/thedroidarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/g4-585x385.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Capture OTA Update URL on Android<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you own the new Redmi K20 Pro?
