Updating the LineageOS build should be very simple if you already have an unlocked bootloader and a customized recovery like TWRP installed on your smartphone. Don’t forget to back up your important data in advance and follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the developer to avoid problems.
To the disappointment of the owners of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9, Redmi Note 7 and OPPO Find 7, official support for these devices has ended, meaning they will not receive new builds in the future. XDA recognized developer Erfanoabdi cites lack of time and loss of access to the device as the respective reasons for ending support for the Galaxy S9 / Galaxy Note 9 and Redmi Note 7. Likewise, mikeNG also cites lack of time as a reason to end support for OPPO Find 7. You can keep the latest one every night or search for alternative ROMs in the XDA forum of your respective device.
