Earlier this month, Samsung released the May 2023 security update to the Galaxy Z Fold 2. However, back then, the update was limited to Asian, European, and Latin American countries. The South Korean firm has now released the new software update to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in the US.

The latest software update for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 comes with firmware version F916USQS2JWE4, and it is available on Sprint and T-Mobile networks in the US. The update includes the May 2023 security patch that fixes 72 security flaws found in Galaxy smartphones and tablets. It doesn't bring any new features to the foldable smartphone.
