    The Galaxy M01s is the latest Samsung smartphone to get the Android 11 update. The new software update brings One UI Core 3.1 to the smartphone along with the July 2021 security patch. The South Korean firm has started rolling out the new update in India, and other markets could get it over the next few weeks.

    Samsung has released a new software update with firmware version M017FXXU2CUG1 to the Galaxy M01s. It brings a refreshed UI design, more consistent iconography, smoother animations and transitions, improved performance, and better security. The new software includes one-time permissions, auto permissions reset, chat bubbles, Conversations section in the notifications area, a dedicated media playback widget below quick setting toggles, and improved Digital Wellbeing.

    The update also brings new lock screen widgets, more Dynamic Lockscreen categories, image and video call backgrounds, and a double-tap gesture to lock the screen. Samsung has also updated all the stock apps such as Samsung Gallery, Samsung Internet, Samsung Keyboard, and Samsung Messages. The company claims that it has improved the camera performance through better autofocus and auto exposure. Accessing smart home device controls has become easier.

    If you are a Galaxy M01s user in India, you can either wait for the OTA update or check for it manually by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also flash the newest firmware manually after downloading it from our firmware database, but the process only works if you have a Windows PC.
