Google Play System Update (May 2026) rolls out for Samsung devices

Google Play System Update was a feature that was introduced for devices that ship with Android 10 or newer. It’s mandatory for device manufacturers that plan to release their devices with Android 10 to support Google Play System Updates. As a result, non-Google devices, such as Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets released with Android 10 (One UI 2.1), can receive such updates, too.

These updates don’t require security updates from the manufacturer to work, as Project Mainline modules work independently to give you better experience with Android phones and tablets.

On June 3rd, a new Google Play System Update has been pushed to Samsung devices. This update upgrades your Project Mainline modules to the May 1st, 2026 version. This update weighs around 98 MB.

To be able to get this version, follow these steps:

  • Go to your device’s settings
  • Open the security settings
  • Find “Google Play System Update” and tap on it
  • If everything goes OK, you should see the below update dialog:
  • Click on Download and Install, wait for it to download, then reboot your device by clicking on the blue Restart button. The next time your device boots up, the revised update gets installed, so it’s going to take about 3 minutes maximum to install all the updates.

    There is no progress bar, so don’t panic if it looks stuck. Your device will eventually boot up. Now, open your settings app and check your Google Play System Update. If everything is well, you should see May 1st, 2026 below the appropriate button.

    In case your device didn’t receive the update, wait for a few days, and it will be available shortly.

    Stay tuned for the June patch of 2026!

    Mein #Android12 Gerät bekommt ja schon länger keine Updates mehr. Trotzdem tauchen immer wieder Zugriffe auf neue #googleapis auf. Die kommen demnach entweder mit der #PlayStore-App, die eh vollkommen heimlich im Hintergrund agiert, oder Updates der #Gmail-App schleusen sie ein. Eben neu entdeckt z.B. "appsgrowthpromo-pa" und "taskassist-pa", die aber gleich von der #Firewall geblockt wurden.

    "playstoregatewayadapter-pa" und "deviceintegritytokens-pa" auch gerade neu entdeckt, die ich der Firewall jedoch erst beibringen muss.

    Ehrlich, diese hemmungslose Überwachung ist nicht nur einfach respektlos, sondern absolut niederträchtig, widerwärtig und menschenverachtend. #Google

    Ooh, interesting! My old OnePlus Nord (the og Nord) that runs Android 12 just got an security update (F24), but the phone has been Out of Support since beginning 2024 with F23 as the last update.

    Ah... Actually released a couple of weeks ago, mostly likely addressing CVE-2025-10184 Android bug allowing any application to read SMS data.

    Das war knapp. Beinahe hätte ich mir heute ein #XIAOMI Smartphone gekauft. Zum Glück erwischte ich einen offenen und ehrlichen Mitarbeiter. Nach einer kurzen Unterhaltung stand fest, dass ich davon lieber die Finger lasse.

    Noch funktionieren meine #Android9 und #Android12 Geräte. Aber wenn #Google seine Restriktionen weiter verschärft, wird es langsam enger. Irgendeine Lösung sollte ich mir in naher Zukunft überlegen.
