We already know that Samsung is a fairly generous company in terms of updates and for this reason it is always one of the first to start rolling out security patches. The one corresponding to the month of October is already available for some users in certain countries and that means that it is a matter of time before it arrives.
This new version is mostly landing on the high end of the device, although there is one exception to the rule. In addition, it is accompanied by improvements and system stability from the One UI 5.0 beta program based on Android 13, introducing new features compared to the previous phase.
Rain of updates on Samsung
Through the change log or patch notes we can find out what’s new from Samsung for its mobile phones with this October security patch. According to the report, the company has fixed an issue reported by multiple Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series owners who were not receiving text messages on certain occasions.
Everything seems to indicate that this bug was caused by the September update , preventing users from receiving messages. The temporary solution was to restart the smartphone so that all the messages began to arrive incessantly and massively. This will no longer be an inconvenience as soon as you get the new version on your device.
The security and stability improvements of the system could not be missing. So your Samsung Galaxy now enjoys greater protection against threats and bugs so that your files and personal information remain stored and armored.
