Google play system updates

[Jeffrey777]

Hello does anyone know when the Google play system updates going to be available for Samsung devices again?

This is all on Samsung. They're the ones holding back these updates. It's not the first time they've delayed Play system updates for months, and it certainly won't be the last. It's all due to how bloated (excuse me, "feature-rich") One UI is as a skin. No other OEM takes such a "kitchen sink" approach with their skin. Samsung wouldn't have to take so long to ensure compatibility with their OS if they didn't cram so much into it.

And you know what's crazy is after I posted that I got a Google Play services update which downloaded by itself but how so not random and from what I heard the new Galaxy phone the s26 was supposed to be released this month but then got pushed back another month because of the beta which further pushes back whenever we get anything which makes it even more frustrating when if you're going to copy Apple why not do the same with the schedule even though I know everything has to be competition

You can't compare Samsung's update schedule or process to Apple's. The sheer number of device models alone makes it apples to watermelons (pun intended).

EDIT: Play services is different from Play system. Play services is a core component that is needed to keep everything running. Play system is updates for security & performance.

Update these two in the meantime.

No longer updates?

Updates for what?  Do you mean the Google Play store, the Google Play system or updates in general for your phone?  It helps if you are clear.

I'm sorry, I don't ever look at images that are in dark mode.  However, perhaps there was no Play store update because there was nothing to be updated.  After a bit of squinting at your screen shot, I can see that I have the same version number for the Play store.  The fact that it has not been updated means exactly nothing.  The app works, content is added and present.  If something works I don't care if it was updated last century or yesterday.  It's an app store - what is there to update?

You would not believe how many people conflate Google Play Services with the Google Play Store.

[Sarge2]

Well, I am sorry you only care if an application works or not, but some people believe in application security, which us why they use the Google Play Store to update their applications to have the most recent updates to same.
All the best to you.

Google Play Store has not been updated on my S23 (unlocked) since September 2025.
My A54 5g last updated October 2025 (also unlocked).
Google Play Services is updated to the latest version.
I have followed all of the steps suggested to no avail.
It is a known issue that is affecting Samsung phones. However, there has been no actual fix at this time.
This issue and its history can be located on Google, Reddit, and on this app as well, so I doubt it is something on your individual phone.
Hang in there as there are plenty of phones experiencing the same issue.
