Samsung Android update policy

The software update is a must for every device. Isn’t it? Yes, it is because the updates bring new features, fixes, improvements, and much more for better device performance. However, you can use your smartphone without updating the software update as it is important, not mandatory.

But without updating your device, you will not get new features and bug fixes on your phone. So, if you’re facing any issue on your smartphone then it may be fixed by installing the latest update.

Samsung Android update policy

Back in 2020, Samsung announced that it would provide at least three major Android OS updates to all the flagships from 2019 and later. This update policy began with Galaxy Note 20 series and Galaxy Z Fold 2 smartphones.

Previously, most Samsung Galaxy devices received two major and two years of regular monthly security patches, quarterly patches for the third year. But now, Samsung has stepped up its policy and promised to release three major Android updates.

Apart from the Galaxy S and Note series flagship smartphones, Samsung has also listed a number of smartphones of its Galaxy A series to get three years of OS upgrade support. Apparently, all upcoming Samsung phones and tablets from the same segment will feature in the list.

Dark Mode for all apps is arriving, thanks Android 15!

Android 15 Dark Mode

Android 15 is bringing a new dark mode feature and Bluetooth audio sharing to enhance the user experience. This major Android update is expected to offer a more effective way of applying dark mode across all apps to address the limitations of the current “override force dark” option available since Android 10.

The new setting “Make all apps dark” under the Color and motion option in Accessibility has been spotted in the beta versions of Android 14. It is expected to be part of Android 15’s accessibility features.

With the new dark mode feature, Google aims to provide a consistent dark theme across apps without affecting images in Android 15. It is prepared to work with more applications, including those that previously did not support the forced dark mode.

While this setting will improve the dark mode experience, Google mentioned that some apps could still have display issues.

Moreover, Android 15 may introduce a feature for sharing Bluetooth audio through a QR code. This would allow users to share their audio with others easily.

WhatsApp to introduce reaction notification feature for status updates

WhatsApp Reaction Notification feature

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.

Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.

This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.

Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.
