Samsung has started rolling out its first software update for the Galaxy S10+, bundling a number of miscellaneous bug fixes and stability improvements, also as the option to remap the Bixby push button to launch any stock or aftermarket application — similar Facebook, Google Maps, Instagram and Netflix.

The upgrade also includes the fixes for five critical and more than than a dozen loftier-gamble vulnerabilities in the Android Bone, also as twelve unique to Samsung's own firmware — a couple of which accept been classified every bit critical — as per this month'due south routine Security Maintenance Release.

Here'southward the full changelog:

The stability of Camera has been improved.
The performance of Fingerprint Recognition has been improved.
Added feature to set the application or function which runs when the Bixby key is pressed.

Moreover, information technology enables Instagram Manner, an exclusive feature that lets users capture and upload content to Instagram Stories from the handset's native Photographic camera client — delivering the best Instagram experience on the market, according to Samsung's love Mobile CEO DJ Koh.

Right at present, the number of devices the update has to reach will be somewhat marginal (in comparison to what Samsung will have to cope with next month) equally it's confined to a small selection of influencers, investors and media outlets, who were invited to use the handset alee of its launch.

For that reason, those wanting to install the release shouldn't have to wait besides long. We received it on our German variant in the Netherlands this morning time, and in that location's been some chatter of it reaching local handsets in France and the Uk since and so, so it's clearly making the rounds in Europe.

The one market information technology's still to attain, even so, is North America.
