  Yes, I got that (sarcastic) bit, but I was referring to the date you
mentioned in your (now snipped) part:

<you>
  My phone says its last update was June 1, 2024 at 7:29AM.

[I assume that's 2024. 2004 is a tad old! :-)]

  Strange that there is no 'Android security patch level' there. AFAIR,
it has been there at least since Android 10.

  Anyway, the SE date is normally close to the 'Android security patch
level' date. The 'Kernel version' date is also close to that. On my
current A56, they're only off by 1 day.

  Still strange that there's nearly a month between your SE date and
your "My phone says ..." date.

  Good! Way to go, Google! :-)
