My galaxy s8 is not updating to 7.1 its stuck at 7.0 for months.

[Android Central Question]

I bought my s8 5 months ago.
Since then it never got an android 7.1 update. It always shows its up to date while its not because other phones have already got the update.

7.1 was never released for the S8. It will jump straight to 8.0

From the viewpoint of the S8, 7.1 is not a very useful update because most of it just adds features that are already on the S8 to other phones, or are Pixel only updates.

And it will update to 8 when Samsung and your carrier have made their changes and release it. (Then only a few phones get it at a time, to prevent the servers from taking off for Mars.)
