Samsung phones will soon send reminders for Play Store app updates to avoid crashing
Earlier this month, Google detailed the November 2022 Play System update that greatly improves the Google Wallet, Parental control, and others. Meanwhile, a new useful function is now spotted on the Play Store that is likely to send reminders for app updates on Samsung and other Android smartphones to avoid crashing.
As spotted by @MishaalRahman, Google Play Store is getting a new v33.2 update. After this update, the Play Store will be able to send you a prompt that reads “Update the app to fix crashes”, which will ask you to update applications that cause crashes.

Many times it happens that some of the applications on our smartphones cause crashing. This usually happens if that app is not upgraded to its latest version. Meanwhile, to resolve this problem Google has found a solution.

Now if you forgot to upgrade your app or are not aware of the latest updates, Google Play Store will send you reminders so that you can update that application and get a seamless and uninterrupted performance on your Android smartphone, including Samsung Galaxies.
It’s worth mentioning that the prompt is only going to help if an app isn’t already fully updated. If you have already upgraded an application to its latest version and it’s still causing crashes, it means that the fix is not available yet.
Overall, this is a nice way to remind customers to keep their phones upgraded to the latest version. Furthermore, as per Google’s support page, the new prompt function is rolling out with the Play Store version 33.2 this week.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra brings a serious camera upgrade over its predecessor. Replacing the 108MP primary sensor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 image sensor with next-gen technologies such as tetra2pixel for enhanced photography.
Yesterday, the company officially introduced the Galaxy S23 series, and the devices are now available for reviewers and authorized retailers. In a recent development, the YouTube channel Tip3X posted a video showcasing the Galaxy S23 Ultra camera test in 200MP resolution.

As you can see in the test video below, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is taking a long time in capturing the shot in 200MP mode. Not that all, when previewed, the image continues to process and takes a long delay to finalize the shot to be viewed by the user.
ISP update should bring improvements
Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures epic moments with incredible precision. The HP2 camera sensor uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once.
200MP camera shot reportedly occupies 30MB-35MB storage space, which could also be a factor behind delayed processing. Still, the Galaxy S23 Ultra uses Samsung’s own-developed 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera, which is refined well with the software system.
Reliable tipster earlier revealed that Samsung will release a major firmware update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra as part of improving the ISP function. Since the update would be focussing on the image signal processor, we expect, the camera performance and shutter delay should be normalized.
Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones are here and the company has begun pre-ordering the phones on the official website. At the same time, T-Mobile US has also started Galaxy S23 pre-orders with additional discounts and benefits.
It is worth mentioning that the company will officially start selling these devices on February 17. Meanwhile, if you pre-order the Galaxy S23 from T-Mobile now, you will get your phone on your door steps on February 17.
