Android Security Patch Level

Help Fairphone 4
1

/e/os recommends checking the Android Security Patch Level before installation, to avoid
triggering the anti-rollback feature and bricking the phone, as follows:
" To check the security patch level on your phone with a locked bootloader, prior to installing /e/OS, open your phone Settings » About Phone » Android Version » Android Security Patch Level. Then compare it against the level of the security patch on the /e/OS build as visible in the Downloads for FP4 section below."

When I tap on “Android Version” (which is 13) the “Android Security Patch Level” doesn’t pop up.
Where do I find it and how do I compare it to the current /e/os version?

I updated my phone os today.
The latest stable /e/os bild is here: /e/OS stable FP4 download

I’m not a technical guy, so please keep it simple.
I will use the Easy Installer, but I want to make sure that I don’t ruin the phone I just
purchased.

Thx in advance…

It’s weird you don’t see others information. If I tap on Android version I get these:

I don’t know what’s you eOS version, but I think is the same as mine.
Wise to wait for people more technical than me.

@sebestyengy wants to find out the patch level before installing /e/OS, as is advised for installing.

I don’t know what exactly it looks like in the settings of the stock OS on a Fairphone 4.

On stock ROM it looks basically the same as in jobal’s screenshot. Of course it misses the /e/ version entry (plus the build date near the bottom).
The security patch level in question is the entry below the android version number on stock.

Else @sebestyengy can you check the build number (settings-about the phone- at the bottom), with this you can check here the corresponding SPL date

And the SPL date of the latest e/OS versions can be found here

2.2 should be June
