Last Updated on December 21, 2021 by Rupesh Patil

Realme has started rolling out a new software update to the Realme 8 in India. The new software update that is rolling out for the device has firmware version RMX3085_11.A.22. It brings the November 2021 Android security patch alongside a few bug fixes. The software update also brings the Glance For Realme feature that shows informative content across subscribed categories such as news, entertainment, sports, games, and shopping right on the lock screen. To us, that looks like very intrusive ads and bloatware.
