Samsung releases May 2024 security update for Galaxy Z Fold 5

Samsung usually starts rolling out a new monthly security update to its phones and tablets at the beginning of the month. However, the company started rolling out this month’s security update, the May 2024 security patch, in the second week of the month. That's because the brand is busy releasing the One UI 6.1 update. The tech giant started rolling the May 2024 security patch with conventional phones, and now it seems to be expanding the latest security update to foldable devices.

On Samsung’s Community forum for India, a post from a user that goes by ‘goodthings’ reveals that Samsung has started rolling out a new software update to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in India. It brings the May 2024 security patch to the foldable device, which fixes 45 security issues. We hope that the update also fixes the phone’s issue of excessive battery drain which was introduced with One UI 6.1. The size of the latest update is 441.54 MB and it changes the device's firmware version to F946BXXS2CXE2.

Your Galaxy Z Fold 5 should automatically notify you about the latest software update. However, considering that you are reading this article, we are assuming that your phone hasn’t done so. In that case, you can check for the update manually by going to Settings » Software update » Download and install. We expect Samsung to expand this update to the other variants of the device and in other regions in the next few days. Be sure to check out our video above to make the most out of One UI 6.1.
