Users' Android phones have begun to display odd and fraudulent notifications.
Our mobile devices occasionally notify us of various things, some of which remind us that we need to update specific apps—for instance, something that should not be a major mystery.
Nevertheless, they noted that when there is no update available, Android users are getting an error message requesting that they update Google Play Services.
This notification warns that some Google apps, such as Messages or the Google app, will not work unless Google Play Services is updated. However, clicking on the notification redirects you to the Google Play Store page, but no update is available.
This affects both users with Google Play Services in beta and stable versions, so it doesn't seem like the bug is coming from there.
These are just fake notifications, so you should ignore them in that regard, but it's not fun at all for your Android device to display them since everything is fine and up to date.
Generally, these types of notifications are sent by the mobile operating system itself to ensure that users don't forget to update certain apps, as leaving them out of update can pose a real risk.
Google confirmed that it has released a fix for the bug and that it "is scheduled to roll out to most devices within the next few hours."
