Samsung brings Maintenance mode to Galaxy A33 5G with its new security update
Samsung has begun rolling out a new software update for Galaxy A33 5G smartphone users that installs the November 2022 Android security patch. Although it is an old security update, it brings a notable feature. With this update, Samsung Galaxy A33 devices have received Maintenance mode.
Well, Samsung introduced the new Maintenance mode as a part of its Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update. But due to some unknown reasons, the company could not deliver it to some smartphones with One UI 5.

Now after the Android 13 release, Samsung is dispatching this Maintenance mode feature to its eligible devices including Galaxy A33. Earlier, it was also released separately for the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy A53.

In case you don’t know, the Maintenance mode is a new security feature for Galaxy devices. When turned on, it automatically switches your phone to a new guest user account that doesn’t have access to any of your data to keep your private files safe from prying eyes.
November 2022 patch:
The Korean company primarily improves the security and stability of your phone in order to protect your files from bugs and viruses. At the same time, it resolves dozens of issues and vulnerabilities that affect your phone’s security and its user’s privacy.
As per the official support page, these fixes include 3 critical, 32 high, and 1 moderate level of CVEs from Google. Along with this, Samsung also provides fixes for 26 Samsung Vulnerabilities and Exposures (SVE) items in order to boost overall device privacy.
Furthermore, Samsung is releasing the Galaxy A33 November 2022 security update with One UI build version A336BXXU4BVKB. It is currently rolling out in some European countries and will soon expand to more regions.
Samsung’s official One UI 6.0 update rollout began last month. However, November 2023 is going to be the biggest month for Samsung fans as various Galaxy devices are likely to get the major Android 14/One UI 6.0 along with patch updates.
The November 2023 security patch is already available on a handful of Samsung devices through Beta updates. However, the company will gradually update all eligible phones and tablets with the latest patch. Stable One UI 6.0 update will include the November patch for various devices.
This month, Samsung will focus on upgrading most of the flagship devices with One UI 6.0 software. In addition to new features and improvements, the major update will consist of security enhancements as well as the November 2023 patch.
The company is likely to share November 2023 patch details in the coming days. We will make changes to this page, as soon as the company refreshes the software support page for Galaxy devices. Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook
