Can't join One UI Beta Program

Hi there, I just recently got a Galaxy Z Flip6 and I'd like to join the One UI Beta program. I see the One UI 7 beta just expanded to cover the Z Flip6 earlier this month, but there doesn't seem to be any link to join it in the Members app. How can I join the beta program and download the One UI 7 beta?

I contacted Samsung support, and while it was incredibly difficult to understand the broken English, it sounds like there's a limited number of slots for the beta program - which makes the whole "open to all users" note on the One UI Beta page very misleading? They don't mention a limit anywhere...

Yes, very misleading but there seems to have been limited slots available when it launched the first week of this month. Not to worry as the stable oneUI7 build will be out next month with UI8 already being tested internally at Samsung. Updates will be rolling out. Builds 7.1, 7.1.1 has been scrubbed due to Android 16 release this summer so Samsung is trying to keep up. This is a good thing to see...the efforts on Samsungs part.

I suppose...Though coming from iOS, where the public beta is open to anyone without any arbitrary caps or rolling acceptances, it's a bit frustrating - especially considering the phone, which I bought in the past week, is currently running Android 14, which came out in 2023.

I've only had my device for 2 weeks. Coming from 15 years of stock android ā¤. I would recommend news feeds like "SamMobile" and Sammy...something (I forget the name). They offer the latest Samsung news for these flagship phones and software. In case Samsung decides to reopen the beta program again next week or whenever stable UI7 & UI8beta become available, you'll get latest release dates and additional info. This is the source I went to once UI7beta was expanded out to zfold & zflip6 owners. šŸ‘‰ https://search.app/7c1K4

Hello @patrickmcc ,

Thank you for your participation in Beta program.

Regarding to One UI 7 Beta participation for Z Flip6 model, Beta is currently ongoing for Carrier Unlocked device. Meaning, your device model has to be SM-F956U1, in order for you to see the Beta banner on Samsung Members. Beta participation is ineligible for SM-F956U devices.

However, if your device meets the criteria, please don't hesitate to share us your Device IMEI and Samsung account (email address) and we will further assist you with the issue.

 

Regards,

One UI Beta Team
