A few things to try. 

  • Reboot & see. 
  • Boot into Safe Mode & see. 
  • Boot into Recovery & wipe cache.
  • If all else fails, you COULD backup your phone with smart switch & factory reset. 
  • I've never had any updates that crew any issues, so I think that it's unlikely that the update caused the issue you described. 
  • Last resort, visit a Samsung Service center to have it checked out by a technician.

Hi, we suggest you backup and reset. Here are the steps to backup your data:

Backup from Samsung account--Apps > Settings > Cloud > Backup > Select the data > Back up now.

Backup from Google account--Apps > Settings > Backup and reset.

Here are the steps for factory reset, settings>>General management>>Reset>>Factory data reset>>Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Reset>> Delete All.

Power OFF your phone & wait a couple of seconds, then press & HOLD Power + Volume UP until you feel the phone vibrate. Release BOTH buttons at the same time & wait until you see the Recovery Menu. Use the Volume button to scroll down to "Wipe Data Factory Reset" & Select with the Power button. Wait a few seconds until the screen defaults back to the Recovery Menu "Restart Phone Now" & Select with the Power button. 

It'll take a couple of minutes until the phone boots up to the Welcome screen. 

Your phone will now be as it was when you first received it.
