Google play system still outdated after OneUI 8 stable update

[Abielito97]

Are you guys still on July Google play system after the OneUI 8 stable update? It doesn't show me any new update for that, is it correct?

Same. S25 Ultra Unlocked.

Stuck on July, same as you. Google really needs to get their 💩 together. From what I can tell, this only affects some devices on Android 16 (Samsung in particular). There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I'm only experiencing this on my S23U. My Tab S9 has the September Play system update. Both are on One UI 8.

Thanks for the info! I hadn't found a solve yet, just wanted to make sure i didn't miss something. Appreciate it.

No problem. Unfortunately, the only solution is to wait for Google to make an update available for your (and my) device. I don't know why different devices are on different updates.

According to this, there is. November update, along with October, September and August as well..... Why has my flagship been stuck on the July update?
Seriously, this is unacceptable and I clearly have to manually update to keep my device secure.

Looks like my next device will be one I have more control over.

Any Android device is going to rely on Google's schedule and deployment of the Play System Update.  You can keep your device secure by turning on the app protection and/or downloading an antimalware app and/or using a VPN.  There are many people using older devices that no longer receive these updates and they are doing just fine security-wise.   Are devices left vulnerable to exploits without the updates?  Probably, if they have no other protection.  Are you likely to be targeted for those exploits if your security lapses?  Possibly, but not probably.  You can be proactive in your  own protection, while still being irked that Google (not Samsung) is lagging. 

Also, no matter how much control you have over a device, you cannot get an update that has not yet been issued for it.

Anyone know why Samsung and Google have left the S25 Ultra on the update from July 2025? I'm on the October 2025 security update and Android 16, but havent seen a GP system update.
