Question Can I avoid updating my Samsung phone to One UI 7?

[Android Dude777]

I am not here to debate the value of Samsung's One UI 7 update. From what I have read, many like it and many don't. I just want to know if there is a way to not allow this update to be downloaded and installed on my phone (Galaxy A15 5G). BTW - I have turned off "Auto download over Wi-Fi" in Software Update.

Thanks.

Sometimes gaining root access will stop system updates. But this will also stop OS updates.

This is all you need to stop it

Thanks for the helpful responses.

If there are any on this forum, I would like to hear from other Samsung owners re: whether I can just continue to ignore the notifications for the One UI 7 update and it won't be forced on me somehow.

I'm in the same boat! Did you ever find a solution??

I linked the app that would stop the update otherwise u can ignore it a couple of times then it will eventually update.

I can verify that Package Disabler Pro works for this.

I just ignore it. Every day, when I turn my phone back on, a screen appears asking me to update to One UI 7. I don't click on the "Later" button (in case that takes me to a page that wants to schedule a later update time). Instead, I just hit the "back" arrow button at the bottom of the screen and go on with my day. And I have been doing this for a month with no problems and it's made no attempt at auto-update.

Thank you! I appreciate the reply

When the update became available on my phone, I accidentally tapped "Download" by mistake, I switched off my WiFi connection and now I keep getting reminders to download it. Help
