It's a good day for folks who use one of Samsung's flagship phones that launched back in 2022 and 2021. The company started rolling out the One UI 6.1 update to the Galaxy S22 series earlier today, and the update is out for the Galaxy S21 series as well!
Unlike the Galaxy S22 series, which is getting most Galaxy AI features from the Galaxy S24 with One UI 6.1, the Galaxy S21 lineup appears to only be getting the Circle to Search feature. This isn't surprising, however, as Samsung had confirmed a few weeks back that flagship devices launched before 2022 will get a limited number of AI features.
The Galaxy S21 One UI 6.1 update has made its debut in Samsung's home country, but we can expect it to arrive in other markets soon. For those wondering, the Galaxy S21 FE is not included in the rollout at this time, and it remains to be seen how long it will take for that to change.
To download One UI 6.1, Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra owners will have to navigate to the phone's Settings » Software update menu and hit the Download and install button. Since these updates are rolled out in phases, it may take a few tries before your phone starts downloading the One UI 6.1 update.
