Verizon has at last started pushing out the long-awaited Android 5.1.1 update to its carrier-branded variant of the HTC One (M9). In addition to the latest build of the open-source operating system, this upgrade also transports a much-needed patch for the Stagefright security vulnerability.

All the changes you’d expect to find in the Lollipop software are bundled into this upgrade, including support for multiple accounts, improved notifications, stronger 256-bit encryption, a smoother multitasking experience, a new recent screen, personal unlocking and Material Design.

As you’d expect, the update is being rolled out in stages, but if you don’t feel like waiting for a notification confirming that it’s ready for your device to hit your unit, you could always search for the upgrade manually. To do so,  open the Settings app, scroll to the bottom and tap on “About Device”, hit “System Updates”, then select “Check for updates”.
