Fulfilling its promise and following its tradition, Samsung started releasing the April 2021 Android and One UI security patch for the Galaxy S21 series smartphones in India. Sending new security patches before completing the current month is not surprising news for Samsung fans.

However, it is a big size update of more than 1GB, which brings new camera performance improvements to enhance the picture-taking capabilities of the camera-focused S21 handsets.
According to some reports, this new software update again allows the Samsung Galaxy S21 users to use the regular camera to capture portraits. It is worth noting, the company had previously restricted the Portrait mode on its premium devices to use the ultrawide or telephoto camera.
Besides, the OEM is on the mission to deliver the new and smart camera features of the Galaxy S21 lineup to its older flagships such as the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20. Following this, the previous reports say that T-Mobile has updated its support page for the S20 phones and added the Director’s View camera feature tutorial even it’s not yet available for them.

Google is reportedly introducing a PIN code requirement for tap-to-pay transactions on Wear OS devices, similar to the authentication process on Android phones. Some users have reported this change, although it is not yet available for all Wear OS users.
The new change to Google Wallet aims to improve security, but it could complicate the charge process on smartwatches. Wear OS is known for its high security, often asking for a PIN if the device is not firmly on the wrist. Introducing a mandatory PIN entry before payments suggests that Google may have concerns about the current security of Wear OS.
According to 9to5Google, users need to open the Google Wallet app before tapping to make a payment to avoid failed transactions if the change is implemented.
Google recently updated its security for phone payments, requiring users to verify their identity before making a payment. For those who find the new phone security measures inconvenient, Wear OS was an easier option. However, entering a PIN on a small screen is less convenient than using a fingerprint.
