The update, as reported by Tizenhelp(via Sammobile) has firmware version M317FXXU2BTK1. As per the report, the update weighs under 750MB and brings a slew of features to the Galaxy M31s. Some of them include a Split keyboard(landscape mode), SOS messages, Camera improvements, and more.

What is highlighting is that the One UI 2.5 update changelog for Galaxy M31s shows features like AlTZLife. Also, the addition of Secure Folder is the first of its kind for a Galaxy M series device.  For the unware, AltZLife will allow users to switch between normal and private mode by double-pressing the power key. Some of its features include Quick Switch and Content Suggestions.

Previously, Samsung rolled out an update for Galaxy A51 and A71 that brought the AlTZLife features to those A-series devices. Besides, Secure Folder is for storing private data, apps, and more. Having said that, the inclusion of these features to Galaxy M31s suggests that the gap between One UI Core and fully-loaded One UI is starting to shrink.

Furthermore, the update for Galaxy M31s also includes features like Bitmoji stickers on AOD(Always On Display). Additionally, the camera app also gets improved performance to Single Take and Pro Mode. Precisely, features like Pro Video, AR Emoji, AR Doodle, Scene optimizer, SmartScan should work well now.

Anyway, Samsung is reportedly rolling out the update to countries like India, Russia, and Ukraine. You can download the update by navigating to Settings->Software Update->Download and Install.
