Samsung devices are still stuck in last year’s Google Play System Update

Last year, Google released the Google Play System Update for all devices across all the months, but the issue of getting it up to date started when Samsung’s One UI 8 started rolling out. This has caused users to get stuck in the last update they’ve installed, and those who factory reset the device got stuck in the July 2025 version.

For instance, Galaxy Tab S8 users who updated to One UI 8 and did all the necessary Google Play System Updates, such as our device, got stuck in October 2025, as you can see here:

There were many reports that confirm that users who updated to Android 16 are stuck in either July 2025 or the latest version being applied to their devices, and you can see some of the reports listed here:

• Inconsistent Google Play System Updates on Samsung Device
• Google Play stuck on September 1st?
• Google play services stuck on July 2025
• Google play system updates stuck on July 2025
• Google play system still outdated after OneUI 8 stable update
• Stuck on a old version of Google Play Store

One person asked Samsung India via Samsung Members for an inquiry about the Google Play System Update not being updated in Samsung devices, and they said “it is intended behaviour that Google Play system update (GPSU) doesn’t work in the some Samsung Android 15 devices. It is blocked by Samsung’s policy and consultation with Google. The blocked update will be resumed soon at the right time per device.”

There was an article posted online by heise online stating that they have contacted Samsung about the matter, and they responded: “When introducing new devices or major One UI updates, Samsung exclusively deploys software that the company has verified. Samsung has temporarily suspended the distribution of Google updates to avoid potential issues.” This means that it’s a controlled process that makes sure that all Samsung devices perform smoothly, even after Google Play system updates.

It was planned to include the Google Play system update on January 2026, but we have seen some older Samsung devices that got the November 2025 Google Play system update, such as the Galaxy S10, S20, and S21 devices that are not running Android 16. However, those who are running Android 16 are still stuck.

As a result, some people have their Google Play system updates rolled back, and you can see one of the reports here: The Google Play system update rolled back.

We hope that, eventually, Samsung and Google work together to fix this issue, ensuring that Galaxy users be able to update to the latest Google Play System Update. The first GPSU that will land to Android 16 will be explained in a separate article once it gets released.

Galaxy A04s receives the December 2025 Security Patch

Samsung has recently began distributing the December 2025 security patch to the Galaxy A04s. This is built on top of One UI 6.1 that uses Android 14 as the base.

According to the latest data, we have found the following firmware versions released:

• SM-A047F: A047FXXSDEYL1

To obtain the update, follow these steps:

This security update should take 5 to 10 minutes maximum to install once your phone reboots. Make sure that you have the phone charged fully before initiating the update process to avoid interruptions. Back up your data to your PC, the cloud, or any other device in case the update went wrong. Don’t interrupt the update process, or you’ll experience problems later.

Enjoy!
