More research this morning, even though my CB says receiving updates till June 2027, maybe I am not. I thought that I had opt'd in by haven taking an update back whenever, but reading the following, it says if you OPT in you will lose ANDROID RELATED DATA, including, "Google Play Store," which I still have, OH WELL, nowhere can I find HOW YOU ACTUALLY do opt in. They can KISS THIS. If I am really not yet OPT'D in even though I show that June 2027 date, I have ZERO plans to buy another anytime soon. Will just use it AS IS:
