Samsung continues to roll out patches aimed at enhancing user security at full speed, even as we enter November. Despite this, the South Korean company has not yet distributed the October update to all devices. Recently, it has been reported that another model has received the October 2024 update.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Receives October 2024 Update
The latest model to receive the October 2024 update is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. This update, identified by the build number X216BXXS4CXJ8 and intended for variants with the SM-216B model number, addresses over 42 security vulnerabilities and focuses on improving system stability. The update is reportedly being rolled out in many regions across Europe.
If you haven’t received the update notification automatically, you can manually upgrade your phone or tablet by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. If you still can’t find the update after following these steps, it may not have reached your region yet, so you might need to wait a little longer.
