Description:
Samsung has issued its first Galaxy S23 update since One UI 6.1  here's why 
you should download it.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Suffice to say, the highly anticipated arrival of One UI 6.1 on Samsung 
Galaxy S23 devices earlier this month didnt go as planned. Just a few days 
after some Samsung fans blamed the companys feature-packed April update for 
causing slower charging speeds on older Galaxy phones, others reported that 
One UI 6.1 had wreaked havoc on the touchscreen functionality of certain 
Galaxy S23 , Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra devices. 

Now, Samsung has begun rolling out the first post-One UI 6.1 update for the 
Galaxy S23 series, and while it doesnt address either of those aforementioned 
concerns, its still an important software package that Galaxy S23 owners 
should download ASAP. 

As noted by SamMobile , this latest Galaxy update brings no less than 27 
Google-issued security fixes for the Android operating system, and 17 patches 
for vulnerabilities affecting Galaxy devices, specifically. As an example, 
the update addresses a vulnerability in the Samsung Pay app that allowed 
attackers to gain access to user information. 

Incidentally, this is the same post-One UI 6.1 update that rolled out to the 
Galaxy S24 series in March, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 , Galaxy Z Flip 5 and 
Galaxy Tab S9 series earlier this month. So, anyone who owns one of those 
devices should already have access. 

According to serial Samsung leaker Tarun Vats , this Galaxy 23-specific 
update is already available to download in certain European regions, and 
based on Samsungs usual update rollout schedule, its safe to assume that the 
US and Australian markets aren't far behind. Galaxy S23 FE owners will have 
to wait a little longer, mind. 

To check whether your Galaxy 23 device has a post-One UI 6.1 update 
available, head to Settings, then Software Update. If you see an available 
update, hit Download and Install, then reboot your phone to apply the 
changes. More updates to come One UI 6.1 left some Galaxy S23 Ultra owners 
with "totally unresponsive" touchscreens (Image credit: Future | Alex

As for when Samsung will address those aforementioned charging and 
touchscreen concerns, the jury is out, but the company has at least shared a 
temporary fix for the latter (in short: update the Google app to the latest 
version, delete the app's data, then restart your phone). 

In all likelihood, the charging issue isnt something to be overly concerned 
about  we suspect its a temporary annoyance as older Samsung phones grapple 
with the increased demands of One UI 6.1  but we still expect Samsung to roll 
out a future update that targets battery efficiency just in case. You might
