Samsung has temporarily halted the rollout of the One UI 4 update for the Galaxy S21 owing to compatibility issues with the Google Play system on some devices. To recall, the update has been released across multiple regions for select flagship and high-end Galaxy devices.

The announcement (via Tizenhelp) was made on the official Samsung community forums by a moderator who further revealed that Google is currently “taking action after analyzing the content.”

From this, it is not unsafe to assume that it’s not exactly Samsung that’s to be solely blamed for the problem as Google has also been stated to be involved. It is not clear when the update will be released again but the moderator says it will be done only after “Google’s actions are complete.”

This isn’t the first time Samsung has had to temporarily pull the plug on a One UI 4 rollout as it was earlier the Galaxy Z Flip3 that suffered a similar fate in South Korea.

Regardless, if a bit too excited, you can always manually check if any updates are available through Settings > Software update. If available, then just hit on the Download and install button. And if it’s not, then well, you can always try again after a while.

One UI 4 brings a number of improvements over One UI 3.1 in the form of UI updates and a number of other miscellaneous improvements. Tweaks to the UI include the implementation of a monet-like theming system, new system animations, a few revamped apps, a re-designed quick settings panel, and more.
