One UI 7 Update Paused By Samsung After Galaxy S24 Glitches
After installing the update, many Galaxy S24 owners in South Korea have reported some problems.
Samsung has paused its much-anticipated One UI 7 software update. The update, which started rolling out around the world on April 7, has been temporarily halted following a technical error involving a number of users.
After installing the update, many Galaxy S24 owners in South Korea have reported some problems. Some of the users reported that they couldn’t unlock their phones properly. Others noticed that their battery was draining faster than ever. For now, Samsung was forced to put the rollout on hold to address these problems.
For now, Samsung hasn’t shared an official global statement about the issue, but discussions have been buzzing on the brand’s Korean forums. Tech experts and tipsters, like Ice Universe on X (formerly Twitter), have also hinted that the bug is fairly serious—especially for Galaxy S24 users in Korea. While the glitch may not affect every user, Samsung seems to be playing it safe by pausing the update across all affected devices.
So, here’s the buzz about One UI 7.
Based on Android 15, this latest interface was supposed to bring a bunch of exciting new features. They include better, smoother animations, speedier app launches and the 'Now Bar' (a lock screen function to control music, notifications and so on). Further, there are new AI tools like AI Select, Writing Assist and Audio Eraser that create a smarter and simpler user experience.
The new software was already launched by Samsung on its latest Galaxy S25 phones in January. Some of the newer mid-range models, such as the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36, were shipped with One UI 7 too, but with missing features and a few more ads than usual.
Users will have to wait for the bug to be fixed by Samsung before the update is resumed. More updates are expected from the company in the coming days.
