Anyone?

Been getting a lot of Samsung Updates recently... Samsung Experience just today as well as Bixby 2.0 and update to Vision where the text translation is more like Googles now... not as accurate as the previous version but you can still take picture of text and converting from pic for me is more accurate.

I've seen people on google + saying they have the update.
Verizon will probably reject and try to sell something they created.

Never were truer words spoken. I just don't get why they are like that.
 
I cracked up when I saw this:
"With this mode you can create a digital version of you, or, in other words, emojify yourself."
:)
My update came this morning.

Where does the update come to i.e. your camera, a certain app? Do see see something indicating you had the update to your phone? Thanks.
 
For those who got the update, what carrier/country are you from?

I'm curious where the update is coming from to but the screenshot in the article makes it look like it's a System Update from the OS Settings options... especially with it also saying September 1 security update.

That's because, Verizon hasn't pushed out the update yet. The most recent is the August 29 patch. Verizon always takes a few weeks to test the update before sending it out OTA, which makes it seem we are a month behind.

Verizon being late has nothing to do with them blocking features which is what I said.
 
Verizon will always try to find a way to monatize an android feature if they can. Charge us for an inferior version or more expensive option.
 
Since when has Verizon blocked a camera feature?

Wow.
Ok.
I am simply saying that Verizon has a history of blocking features on their devices. I'm not saying camera features specifically or exclusively, features in general.
For example:
Wifi, GPS, write on PDF, device maintenance, Samsung cloud, etc.
 
Yes, and it got its peepee smacked by the FCC for it. Except for Samsung Cloud everything else you mentioned is now available.

Where does the update come from Samsung, play store or Verizon? I believe I have none of them.
 
It is part of the monthly security update. Verizon hasn't pushed it yet. Verizon normally pushes updates out at the end of the month. That gives it time to test the update and prep it for OTA. Verizon's a bit of a stickler when it comes to testing updates.
 
I haven't gotten it yet and here I was last month giving samsung credit for quicker updates lol
