Samsung's November security update for the Galaxy S21 is already here

The Galaxy S21 series are the first Android phones to get the latest security patch.

What you need to know

The November 2021 Android security patch has started rolling out to the Galaxy S21 series.
Currently, the update is limited to users in Germany.
Along with the latest security patch, the update includes a few bug fixes and stability improvements as well.

Samsung's Galaxy S21 series phones have already started receiving the November 2021 Android security patch, according to the folks at SamMobile. The update reportedly arrives as version G99xBXXS3AUJ7 for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The early rollout certainly doesn't come as a surprise, since Samsung has been pushing the latest security updates before Google and other Android OEMs for nearly two years now. For now, the update is only rolling out to users in Germany. Samsung will likely expand the update to more markets across Europe over the next few days.

While a changelog for the update isn't available yet, it isn't expected to bring any new features or significant improvements. As with most previous security updates, we expect it to pack minor bug fixes and stability improvements.

Galaxy S21 users in the U.S. and other parts of the world, however, may have to wait longer to get the November security update. The October security update began rolling out to Samsung's best Android phones in the U.S. just two weeks back.

Once the update does become available for your Galaxy S21, you will see a notification asking you to download and install it. Alternatively, you can check for the update manually by heading over to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

While the Galaxy S21 series is the first to get the November security patch, the update is expected to soon start rolling out to other Samsung phones and tablets as well.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
