Samsung's rollout of the One UI 7 update has encountered significant challenges, leading to widespread user frustration. Initially, the update was slated for release alongside the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. [1]
However, critical issues have emerged:
- *Unlocking Problems:* A major bug prevents certain Galaxy S24 users from unlocking their devices, prompting Samsung to pause the global rollout. [2]
- *Privacy Concerns:* Flaws in the Secure Folder feature risk exposing private photos and videos, further damaging user trust. [3]
These setbacks have led to speculation that Samsung might skip the One UI 7.1 update, focusing instead on refining One UI 7. [4]
Samsung has yet to provide official statements regarding these issues or a revised timeline for the update's rollout. Users are advised to monitor official Samsung channels for the latest information and consider delaying manual updates until stability is assured.
