- The Watch 7 update is roughly 160MB for beta users and about 2GB for others, and it adds Now Bar, a refreshed interface, and health features including Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guidance, Running Coach, and Vascular Load.
- After briefly pulling firmware, Samsung has resumed One UI 8 (Android 16) for the Galaxy S22 and S22+, while the S22 Ultra rollout has not yet restarted.
