There are a lot of complaints about this update. It is very faulty and don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your phone.🙏

Bro its horrible, when im scrolling on an app the slightest glitch makes the whole phone crash

I have been experiencing all of the things you mentioned on my galaxy A16.one UI 8 is just so faulty, the apps crash a lot keyboard takes a while to appear and keeps on disappearing. Horrible is just the right word to describe it right now, Samsung must do something very soon because our phones have become sk unusable.

Hi zvezie
Yes — you’re definitely not alone. A lot of Samsung users who updated to One UI 8 (Android 16) are reporting widespread glitches just like you described — including apps crashing, the keyboard disappearing, freezes, and other unstable behavior. It seems to be a pretty common experience on community forums and Reddit threads.

📱 Common Problems People Are Reporting

Here’s a summary of what many users have been experiencing since the One UI 8 update:

🛠 App crashes & instability

Apps randomly crashing or showing white/blank screens before closing.

Background apps failing when switching between them.

Some system apps (like Gallery or Smart Switch) not working or freezing.


⌨️ Keyboard glitches

The keyboard randomly disappearing mid-typing or not appearing at all in some apps.

Keyboard lag and input delays reported on multiple devices.


🔄 UI 8 update rollout issues

Some users have complained the update itself was pulled or halted in certain regions, likely because of buggy behavior.

Other people are seeing disappearing widgets, battery drain, overheating, and other instability.


🤔 Why This Is Happening

It looks like Samsung’s One UI 8 update is introducing a bunch of early bugs for many users, especially on devices updated from One UI 7 or older software. Because Android 16 and One UI 8 include big changes under the hood, some apps and keyboard systems haven’t fully settled yet — and compatibility problems are showing up.

🧠 What You Can Try (Temporary Fixes)

While Samsung works on patches, these tips might help reduce issues:

🔁 Basic troubleshooting

Restart your phone after the update. Sometimes this resolves temporary bugs.

Wipe cache partition: Turn off the phone, then hold Volume Up + Power to enter recovery and choose wipe cache partition.

Safe Mode: Boot into safe mode to see if third-party apps are crashing — if not, it could be an app conflict.


📱 App-specific fixes

Update all apps in the Galaxy Store or Google Play — some developers are rolling out fixes post-UI 8.

Clear app cache/data for apps that crash often.

Temporarily uninstall or disable problematic apps.


⌨️ Keyboard steps

Try switching between Gboard and Samsung Keyboard.

Clear the keyboard app’s cache and data in Settings → Apps.

Ensure only one keyboard language if a lag issue appears.


🚨 Worst case

Factory reset can sometimes clear deep glitches but should be a last resort (back up your data first).


🕐 What’s Next?

Samsung is aware of bugs and working on patch updates to improve stability — some regions even saw the update paused so a cleaner version can roll out.
