  Please go to Settings -> About phone (at the bottom) -> Software
Information -> Android security patch level (at the bottom)

  Report the date listed below 'Android security patch level'.
  
  Anything else is irrelevant, because it might just be the date of some
'Google Play system update', which, as you mention below, could be as
new as February/March of this year. (Which is the case for our Samsung
Galaxy A51 phones (Android 13).)
