   ok, my phone wants to go from Android v10 to v15.

   Now is time for all those different backups I've been putting off. 😬

     @ghostdancer I checked just before Christmas and the phone said the 2019 or so update was the newest one. 🤷

     @clacke That's quite a jump I think you have missed a few updates.

     @clacke Wow! It's a strange move from the maker, they usually would want you to buy a new phone. Better for you, in theory it will fix security holes that may have the older version.

     @ghostdancer Android 12+ treats F-Droid more fairly, so I'm looking forward to that.

     In Android 12+ , if application A installed application B, A can update B without prompting the user, so rooting and installing the F-Droid privileged extension is no longer required.
