Is there a way to keep my Samsung Galaxy S22+ doesn't download the new version of the Operating System for as long as possible? I am a Type 1 diabetic and use an insulin pump. Through the app for the pump I can give myself insulin. They can't update the app quickly enough so every time the new version of the OS comes out, I end up not being able to use the app correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UI update. The company usually updates the app at a later date, making one function of the app unusable until that point in time.

You cannot turn off automatic OS updates on devices sold in the Americas, not even on Wi-Fi only variants.

I turned off all updates and it still wants to update anyway. My medical device is not compatible with the new update so I need to stop the update. Any ideas?

The update took place beyond my control and I lost the connection to my medical device. This is the reason I bought this phone not that long ago. Icant afford a new phone and I will never buy a Samsung in the future. I should have more control. I had the updates shut off.

You need to contact the makers of your medical device to see if they will be updating it for the newer operating systems.  This is not on Samsung, it is on the device manufacturer.
