Samsung is actively rolling out the November 2024 security update to select Galaxy devices. Here’s which devices have been updated and what’s new in the update.

Samsung Galaxy November 2024 update – What’s new?

As usual, this latest monthly security update doesn’t bring any drastic changes. Any major new changes are likely being reserved for One UI 7, Samsung’s Android 15 update, which is due to be released in 2025.

One of the changes you’ll find in the November 2024 update on Galaxy devices is to Auto Blocker, a feature designed to improve security. In the “Maximum” setting, Samsung will now block all USB devices from functioning, with the exception of devices only used for power, like chargers.

Beyond that, this update addresses a collection of various security issues with over 30 “high” priority fixes, but no critical patches. All of these are included in Google’s November Android Security Bulletin, and will also be included in future updates for other Android devices.
