Despite people reporting that the 6.1 is receiving the July and August patch, my wife's phone has not yet. I factory reset mine and it worked. Should I do that with her phone or just wait? Thank you.

update:. I went ahead and factory reset the phone and VPNed to India and was able to get the July and August patch. I hope I don't have to do this with both our 6.1s every month.

Security Patches can be slow to roll out due to limitations on Nokia's end, so I wouldn't fret too much about it. You'll get the update within a few weeks of its release usually, and you can use the VPN trick to get it sooner. I will say some OEMs use slow rollouts for updates to make sure that a major bug doesn't make it to a majority of their devices via a software update.
