As Vivo promises two years' worth of updates, the Android 11 update comes a little later than its two-year mark.

Replying to a tweet, Vivo confirmed that Vivo Y17 is receiving an Android 11 update in India. However, Vivo also mentioned that the update for the smartphone is currently undergoing greyscale testing and it should receive a broader rollout once no bugs are reported.
