A few days ago, Samsung announced details of the October 2024 Android security patch for its smartphones. Soon after, the company started rolling out the new firmware to the Galaxy S24 series. Notably, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 clamshell handsets have also received the October 2024 update. Also, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 received the same treatment recently.

Samsung has begun the rollout of the October 2024 update for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The update is currently rolling out in the US as well as in Europe. The build number of the new firmware is F956BXXS1AXI3 or F956USQS1AXIB, depending on your region. As always, the October 2024 patch for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is seeding over the air.

The new firmware will take some time to reach all the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 units as it is rolling out in a phased manner. You can also manually download the new update on your device. To do this, simply go to Settings > Software update and press the Download and install option.

New update fixes 42 issues related to the security

The new patch fixes 30 security flaws found in the Android OS. Furthermore, 12 solutions are exclusive to the problems affecting Samsung smartphones. Some of these problems are related to the system services and Knox services. That said, it is one of the most crucial security updates for Samsung devices.
