S21 ultra 5G unlocked not received updates

[simsy]

I have a Sumsung S21 ultra 5G unlocked I bought from US but am not leaving there. The issue is that am not receiving android updates or even security patches since July. Anyone who can enlighten me why please?

Where do you live now? Have you received any security update since you moved to the country you live now?

[simsy]

I live in Bahrain in the middle east now. No security patches update since first July 🤒

[Zammi]

I believe you didn't receive any update while you are in Bahrain.

What's the model code?
You can get it from settings, about phone, status information screen.

Actually i bought mine as unlocked from US

Model is : G998U

This is phone model. Check the location I mentioned above for full model code. Because, last 3 characters define if you are able to get updates while you're outside the US.

Code is : SM-G998UZKESPR
How do I know if it's possible to update outside the US
