Since the last update on September 10th I've had several issues.   Anyone else experiencing any issues? Also seems my battery is draining faster 😪

Sometimes app updates from the play store will cause them to crash. It's an Android issue, not necessarily a Samsung issue. I have had a few things that will cause Instagram to crash. In the last few Instagram updates, I've encountered bugs in them. The app will crash when I try a certain task. Sometimes rolling back to a previous app version will fix this as well as turning off auto update apps.

My Dayband app for Kore-trak health tracker keeps failing to start but besides this I haven't found anything else yet! Anyone have any suggestions besides deleting cache and data, removing, reboot and reinstalling, not running ontop of other programs. Help! I can NO longer sync! Any ideas?

I'm also having the same issues since the September update. It's also a lot warmer than usual too.

Having severe artifacting issues on my s21 ultra since update, although I'm not sure its related to the update. 

Samsung already replaced my screen and mainboard and sent it back to me, but I'm still experiencing the same artifacting in text and other apps. (lines and letters being "stretched" and just utter chaos, like triangles and weirds shapes in applications like waze and others, this really seems gpu related)

I'm at a loss here, already sent it back in for repair for the second time. At this rate I just want my money back -.-20210907_095028.jpg

Hi, I am sorry you are experiencing all these issues, and can understand the frustration it causes. If you are having issues with any apps freezing or crashing, even after updates, there are a few things you can try to resolve your problem. Clearing the app cache, checking if the app is compatible with your device, rebooting your device, optimizing your device, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and even checking for additional updates are all things that may help. Try these steps here for the crashing apps: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001496/
