Got it on my S8 in US on Verizon, i didn't get a notification but i went into settings and checked for it and the update was there

Same here. Easy fast install. Verizon S8+.

Got it yesterday on my Verizon S8+. Looks like a totally different phone. No issues with battery or performance like I've read while waiting on it. Can't figure out how to get rid of the wifi calling "need to update location" notification and can't disable the bixby button now, but otherwise it's okay.

Yep got it on my S8+ about a month and half ago, it's pretty rubbish imho, very cartoonish and quite dated looking not as smooth or snappy but A WIPE and full reset might have sorted that perhaps. But the new interface is laughable with so much wasted space in Samsung apps with the stupid blank area for the top third of the screen. I have a large phone I dont expect the top half of the screen to become redundant. I had planned to upgrade to the S10+ when it came out but after using One UI definitely glad I didn't.

It's installed and it's like a just got a brand new phone for free. Faster then it's ever been, dam even Bixby is a joy to use now. So glad I held off buying the S10 Plus. Loving my S8 Plus again. WOW

Note 8 here and I'm loving the new update. Got everything in dark mode. Best release ever.

so apart from settings menu layout diff and added camera options I don't see any difference

Boo! I've got an unlocked Verizon S8 Plus and I just checked. No update. It still says the February 2019 patch is the latest available update. You all are making me jealous of all the Android Pie goodness. :-(

Our two unlocked Galaxy S8+ T-Mobile phones we have updated overnight. So, we woke up to Android Pie on our phones on 1 Apr 2019.

I have not received it on my unlocked phone yet. How do you like it? Any problems?

I have an unlocked S8+ on an MVNO, no update yet.

After installation I lost my finder feature and great Samsung support guys ask me to back and restore. I am not seeing multiwindow options too.. not great to support this version. I beleive I have to switch my phone and say bye to Samsung gakaxy8

Just bought a new S8 unlocked and using an ATT SIM card. Checking every day and still no Pie.
I want my Pie...

I also got the update. Unfortunately, I put a Galaxy theme on my phone and now can't use the new dark theme. I know how to delete it, so I tried. But, when it said delete... It deleted the word 'delete'! Now I have no way to get rid of it. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Go into the theme store and bring up the themes you have downloaded and then select the default theme(the one that was on it out of the box) and then you'll be able to use night mode.

OK, just got my Pie this morning, April 8, 2019. I like it!

Well Sprint started rolling it out last week and it borked a bunch of phones. LTE connectivity lost. No fix. The update has been pulled and no schedule for when it will be updated and released again. No way to roll back the broken phones either. Its a mess.

Multi/split screen support is still there. Just a different way to get to it. Plenty of articles on how to do it. Example:

Still no update for unlocked s8. I'm still waiting on the update. Any suggestions?

 

[socialillz]

I'm on Verizon. My S8+ got the update 2 days ago. I love it!! I initiated the update.
