My Samsung keeps updating the Android security level.
A lot. At least every month since I've owned it.
Which is more than I'm used to.

Is anyone else getting a lot of Samsung Android OS updates?

This one says "A software update is available.
You can postpone the installation up to 1 time.
Your phone will restart after the update is installed.
What's new?
Call stability has been improved.

Software update information
Version A326USQU2AUD9 / A326UOYN2AUD9 / A326USQU2AUD9
Size 175.53MB
Security patch level March 1, 2021
Schedule install or Install now?"

I thought Google issued monthly security updates. One reason I bought
the Pixel was to stay up-to-date with Android patches. Samsung may be a
couple of months behind? I'm showing Android 11, security update 5 May
2021.
