Not available in Australia.

Ok but how do I join when it becomes available in Australia 🇦🇺

[SamsungDeviceLiker]

Well the Beta Program won't be pushed to Australia anytime soon. Assuming that you have an S25 (?) You should start to get the stable update within 2-3 months.

There is a very jank way via VPN / Custom ROM's - but I reeeaaalllyy don't recommend it 😅 Risk is not worth the reward

[Dolgogi]

That's incorrect.
No custom roms at all.
But definitely outside the scope of this community.

[alejcho]

keyword is *Jank - user modified ROMs are technically Custom

But agreed. Definately not worth exploring

[Dolgogi]

There is no use of custom roms to install the beta.
I don't think your familiar with how it works.

Custom roms are a completely different conversation.

appologies - guess I worded all this too abstractly, but yes is a whole entire topic on its own beyond what OP is asking for (sorry for the derail @Lilsimons2830 !)

Edit* - also spoke with @Dolgogi in DM's and agreed to park this matter. All good!

@Lilsimons2839 Samsung only runs the beta program in 7 countries sadly.
So as @SamsungDeviceLiker mentioned you can't officially join.

This was raised with Samsung HQ back in January at an SMC workshop in San Francisco.
There is no plans for this to change currently.
