Samsung always releases all smartwatch updates to Korea first before all other regions to ensure that everything is OK according to early feedback from users. For example, after the Watch7 update has been released, the April 2025 update has been released to the Galaxy Watch6, starting with Korea. This happened on April 21st.

Our analysis of the release dates of new firmware updates, starting from the final One UI 6 Watch released last November, has come to the conclusion that the following updates were released in this way for the BT version:

BXJ5 (One UI 6 Watch update with October 2024 security patch)
- Korea: November 19th, 2024
- Global: November 26th, 2024
- Difference: exactly 7 days
BXL2 (Stability update with October 2024 security patch)
- Korea: January 7th, 2025
- Global: January 14th, 2025
- Difference: exactly 7 days

For the Watch7, the latest update, AYCD, was released like this:

AYCD (One UI 6 Watch update with March 2025 security patch)
- Korea: April 8th, 2025
- Global: April 14th, 2025
- Difference: exactly 6 days

There is an update pending release for the global, the BYD1 update, that was released in Korea on April 21st, 2025. Therefore, according to the update record, we expect that the global rollout becomes available on either April 28th or 29th. If our analysis is right, the Galaxy Watch6 users will be able to update their watches in the two mentioned days.

Galaxy Watch5 and Watch4 are still waiting for this update.

We are aware of an issue where One UI 6.1 and above has introduced a bug that causes PulseAudio to be unable to find "libskcodec.so". We'll update our project docs accordingly.

Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy S23 devices freeze on Instagram Reels

In some regions, such as India and UAE, almost three weeks after the most recent security update has been applied to the Galaxy S23 devices, people began reporting issues regarding their devices freezing and rebooting automatically. This issue was disruptive for users, because it means that they have lost all unsaved work.

People in those regions were reporting issues related to how their Galaxy S23 devices freeze when scrolling through Instagram, especially when watching reels (short videos). Such devices would freeze, then restart abruptly after about 1 to 2 minutes. The issue was raised to Samsung Members Community by many people, including the following posts:

Some reports claim that the issue started as early as three days ago, and the latest version of Instagram that is on the Play Store at the time of the incident is 374.0.0.43.67. People tried various solutions, such as checking for Instagram updates and reinstalling it, but the problem persisted.

We speculate that it may be because there is some kind of bug in either the security update itself or the latest version of Instagram. We are hoping for the latter, but, given the nature of the issue, it looks like that the affected phones were suffering from “kernel panic” issues when scrolling reels. When an Android phone gets a “kernel panic,” it typically freezes for 1 to 2 minutes before rebooting.

We recommend that you hold off watching Instagram reels for now until either a software update (One UI 7) or an Instagram update gets released, which should hopefully resolve this issue.

Your Galaxy Watch7 is about to get an update soon!

Samsung is currently working on an update that will incorporate general improvements to your smartwatch after the One UI 6.0 update released in November 2024 for Galaxy Watch6 and older, and in July 2024 for Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra.

Alongside the One UI 7 release schedule for Canada that is unveiled by Telus in their official forums, the same update will arrive to the following smartwatches on April 15th:

Galaxy Watch7 (40mm and 44mm)
Galaxy Watch Ultra

Telus has listed the update as “Optimizations & Security Update,” which means that not only will your smartwatch be more stable, but it will also be more secure as it will bring the latest security patch to your watch.

For older smartwatches, such as the Watch6 and the Watch6 Classic, the same update will be rolled out to those watches in the coming days or weeks, so keep checking your watch for updates!

We anticipate that the beta program for the next One UI Watch could start in June, based on the previous beta release record.

To update your watch, follow these steps:

With your phone
1. Open Galaxy Wearable
2. Select your watch
3. Open Watch settings
4. Navigate to Software Update
5. Tap Download and Install
6. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
7. Wait until the update gets downloaded and copied to your watch, then press Install
With your watch
1. Open Settings
2. Navigate to Software update
3. Tap Download and Install
4. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
5. Wait until it gets downloaded to your watch, then press Install

In an event that something went wrong with copying the update, disconnect your phone from your watch by turning Bluetooth off or by disconnecting it through Galaxy Wearable, then try again from your watch. Make sure to turn Wi-Fi on in your watch to download the update faster.

Make sure that both your phone and your watch are charged before performing the update, and that your internet connection is stable. Never interrupt the update process, or there could be problems later. The update process may take a few minutes to finish, and if it appears to be stuck, just wait for more minutes.
