How to update software

To update the software on your Samsung Galaxy M20 manually, you can use the built-in settings on the device or Samsung's Smart Switch software on a computer. Before starting, it is recommended to back up your data and ensure your battery is charged to at least 20% (some guides suggest over 50%).

Method 1: Update Directly on the Device (OTA)

This is the most common "manual" check performed over-the-air.

• Access Settings: Swipe up to open the app drawer and select Settings.

• Find Update Menu: Scroll down and tap Software update (some models may list this under System updates).

• Download and Install: Tap Download and install or Check for updates.

• Follow Prompts: If an update is available, you can select Install now, Schedule install, or Later.

Method 2: Update Using a Computer (Smart Switch)

If your device is not finding the update over Wi-Fi, you can use a PC or Mac.

• Install Smart Switch: Download and install the Smart Switch application on your computer from the official Samsung website.

• Connect Device: Use the original USB data cable to connect your Galaxy M20 to the computer.

• Detect Update: Open Smart Switch on your computer. If an update is available for your device, an Update button will appear on the main screen.

• Start Process: Click Update and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the files. Do not disconnect the cable until the process is complete.

Summary of Tips

• Wi-Fi Recommended: Use a stable Wi-Fi connection for OTA updates to avoid high data charges.

• Storage Space: Ensure you have at least 1GB of free memory available for the update files.

• Security Updates: You can also specifically check for security patches by going to Settings > Biometrics and security > Security updates.
