Samsung started rolling out the update to One UI 8 based on Android 16 to the Galaxy S23 devices in late September, around three weeks ago. Everything was going well, until it wasn’t.
The rollout is currently paused, and it’s unclear when it will be resumed, so if you have a handset that’s part of that family and haven’t received the update yet, chances are you’re in for a longer wait than you were expecting.
Samsung hasn’t revealed why it’s taken this step either. There don’t seem to be any widespread reports of big issues from people that have installed the update.
That said, the company has surely found something that needed fixing and decided to halt the rollout out of an abundance of caution. Hopefully it manages to fix whatever the problem was quickly and the rollout can resume sooner, rather than later. We’ll keep you posted.
