Easy steps to check and install Galaxy S20 updates
Time Needed : 5 minutes
The following steps demonstrate the standard process of checking, downloading and installing new system updates on the Galaxy S20 via over-the-air (wirelessly). That said, it is imperative to have your phone connected to a Wi-Fi network and must be sufficiently charged.
Open the Apps screen by swiping up from the bottom of the Home screen.
From the Apps screen you can view apps and services installed on your device.
From the Apps screen, tap Settings.
The Settings holds important options and features you can configure.
Scroll down and tap on System updates.
This will pull a new screen where you can view the latest available update for your phone as well as the last update information.
Tap the option to Check for system updates to proceed.
Again, make sure that your phone has a stable internet connection so it can access the update server.
If prompted, tap Download and install to instigate download and installation of the new update.
Follow the rest of the onscreen prompts to download and install new system updates on your phone.
If there’s no available update, it means that your phone is up to date. In this case, you will get a pop-up message saying so.

Meanwhile, if a new software version is available but you cannot update your galaxy s20 for some reason, try to check your internet connection. In most cases, minor network connectivity issues such as slow internet connection and intermittent or Wi-Fi drops are usually the underlying cause. In that case, refreshing the phone’s Wi-Fi connection usually does the trick.
Toggling the Wi-Fi switch off and on, turning Airplane Mode on and off, and restarting the wireless router/modem are usually the effective solutions. But if none of that works, that’s the time you can seek further assistance from your internet service provider.
Aside from internet connection, also consider checking your phone storage and make sure there is sufficient space to allocate the update file. System updates, particularly major software versions are huge files and therefore consume a large portion of your phone’s overall storage.
And that covers everything in this tutorial. Please keep posted for more comprehensive tutorials, tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your new Samsung galaxy s20 smartphone.
