              I responded to the wrong comment. The same person said that they are still running android 9 on their phone. It is a couple comments up from this one.

        most of them if not all are mitigated by google play services. otherwise there would be 2 billion of infected android phones and there would be many alarmist posts like when ten years ago stagefright happened
