My wife and I both have the S21. I receive regular monthly security updates but she has not received one since May. Her phone says the software is up to date when it obviously is NOT!

Any suggestions?

I tried this and it still says I am up to date. It has been almost a year since I have had an update. I've had no updates since unlocking phone from at&t

If you still have an AT&T SIM put it in the phone and I bet it will begin downloading updates.  Once it does remove the SIM.
