Narrative:
Over a week after the fact I was informed by the captain there was a problem with the software load on the electronic flight bag (efb) on the aircraft we had flown together. The message; from a safety representative; stated that there should have been a red message on the efb to indicate the software was out of date. This did not occur on my efb and I had no indications that the software on the efb was out of date.
