Verizon has started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for LG G3, LG G4 and HTC One M9. The carrier has announced the release of the firmware through its software update support pages for the respective devices.

Software updates are sent out in phases. The over-the-air Marshmallow update is gradually rolling out and will take some time to reach out to all users.

All the aforementioned device owners under Verizon should automatically get the firmware update notification. If not, they can also manually check for the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. (Head to your Settings and check for System updates.)

As a prerequisite to download and install the update, Verizon advices to keep the phone fully charged and connect the said devices to Wi-Fi or cellular network throughout the process.

For the LG G3 the new software version will be VS98546A, whereas the LG G4 will run version VS98624C, confirmed Verizon Wireless. Verizon has included detailed description of the new features with screenshots.

The LG G3 users can now get Google Now on Tap, use Doze mode to optimise battery life, Apps permission, make use of Silent mode, benefit from Direct Share to contacts, and control apps display notification. Additionally, the LG G4 users will get Wi-Fi calling to save cellular data.

For HTC One M9 on Verizon, the update to software version 3.37.605.7 will bring in refreshing changes including major bug fixes and Android Pay. HTC One M9 owners can now use their phones to make payments which are secure and convenient. One M9 owners can also customise and control their notification, audio and alarm volumes in a better way.
