In response to user requests on social media, Samsung has implemented a small but notable improvement. Those who are testing the beta version of the One UI 6 customization layer, based on Android 14, will notice that the system now allows them to update specific applications at the same time as Android updates.
On previous occasions, Samsung It updated system apps (pre-installed ones that weren’t downloaded from Google Play) at the same time the phone was downloading software updates. The problem with this practice is that it reduced the device’s storage, but this will no longer be the case starting with One UI 6.
When installing the new customization layer, users will notice a small section dedicated to software update that says: “Some applications may be updated along with this software update”. Below is an option that allows the user to choose apps to update. When you click it, you will be directed to a new settings screen with a list of all the applications in the system. Samsung. There you can select which apps will be updated and which will remain the same until the user decides to update manually.
If you choose not to update these applications when installing a new version of Android, these same apps update themselves according to the phone’s configuration. Likewise, the advantage of avoiding updating applications is that the system will be able to speed up the operating system installation process.
