Last updated: July 18th, 2019 at 13:xi UTC+01:00

The latest Milky way S9 update brings a couple of new features that were introduced on the Milky way S10 lineup. The July security update – software version G96*FXXU6CSG8 – for the Milky way S9 and S9+ was released for the Exynos variants in Germany today, and it adds more customization options for AR Emoji and brings back up for Call and Message Continuity. It besides reportedly fixes the Dark fashion camera consequence that had been plaguing some Galaxy S9 and Note 9 owners.

Phone call and Bulletin Continuity is a keen characteristic that lets you accept calls and check out new messages on a Milky way tablet as long as that tablet is logged in to the same Samsung account as the telephone that is connected to your carrier. Since the feature uses a Wi-Fi or mobile data connexion, yous don't have to worry about your phone being close by. The Call and Message Continuity carte is located in theConnectionssection of the phone settings.

As for AR Emoji, the Galaxy S9 is at present closer to the Galaxy S10 lineup in terms of the customization options available. That includes being able to tell the phone that you're a kid (boy or daughter) instead of an adult (which is peachy if you accept a kid who likes to play with the AR Emoji characteristic on your Galaxy S9 or S9+) and not having to awkwardly grin with your lips closed earlier the phone can turn your photo into an emoji. The user interface has been updated as well.

Milky way S9 and S9+ owners in Germany should exist able to download the 533 MB software update over the air. Merely open the phone'south Settings app, selectSoftware update, then hit theDownload and installoption. It may take time to attain everyone, only hitting theDownload and installbutton a couple of times should make the update testify up for most users. We also have the firmware for the update in our firmware database that tin can exist used to upgrade the device using a Windows PC.

The update doesn't seem to be rolling out in any other market at the moment, but that shouldn't be the case for long. We should also see the Galaxy Note ix get the new features, but since the July security update for the phablet didn't include them, Note nine owners will probably accept to wait for the August security update.
