While Galaxy devices are still receiving the October Play system update, Google has released the November build. As usual, the latest release brings various improvements and bug fixes for core Android services. It will soon roll out to Android devices globally, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets. You can check for the update from the Settings app on your device.
Google details the November Play System update
The Google Play system update is a core system service update provided monthly by Google. This update enhances device performance, security, and reliability. In some months, the company may release multiple patches depending on the needed improvements. These updates are available for a range of Android devices, including phones, Wear OS, Android TV, Android Auto, and PCs.
The November Play system update comes with feature enhancements for the Play Store and various other Android components. According to Google, the Play Store’s latest version (v43.5) will offer more relevant app recommendations following this update. Users will see content better suited to their interests and usage habits. This change aims to improve the app’s usability and personalization.
Additionally, the update enhances device performance with optimizations for various system management services that improve connectivity, network usage, security, and stability. It also includes several bug fixes for smoother functioning of Android services. Note that a feature listed in the changelog may take time to reach Android users globally, as some changes are rolled out in phases.
Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets are expected to receive the November Play system update in the coming weeks. Typically, Galaxy devices notify users of monthly security updates, but Google Play system updates do not trigger notifications. You have to manually check for those in the Settings app. Open the app and navigate to About phone > Software information > Google Play system update.
