I joined the Beta program and downloaded the June 1, 2025 Beta version. I've left the Beta program since then but haven't gotten the stable One UI 8 update that released this week for Samsung Galaxy S25 users. When I go to "Software Update," it says my software is up to date on the Beta version.

How can I get the stable update?

There's a procedure for rolling back to One UI 7 that you should have followed after leaving the beta. Sounds like you didn't do that. As it is, your phone is in limbo with the beta build and can't update to stable.

Your only option at this point is to back up your data and roll back to One UI 7 via Smart Switch on a computer. That will factory reset your device. You can then OTA update to One UI 8.

That's bs sorry but even if your in beta you should still get the update I have read the terms even if you leave the beta you should still get the up date to the real one ui 8.

That's not what the beta FAQs say. You'll get the stable update only if you stay in the beta program. The OP pulled out of the beta program but left the beta build on their phone. Consequently, they're unable to update to the stable build from the beta.

Okay, thank you! Just to confirm that I wouldn't be able to wait for a stable update to get downloaded directly on my phone via the software update page? This is my first time using the beta software so I'm not sure if I just have to wait for a newer version to be available to override the beta version

According to the beta FAQs that I've read, you need to roll back to One UI 7 in order to get the OTA update to One UI 8.

As an update to this (and for anyone in a similar situation), I just got the software update today without factory resetting my device and going back to One UI 7 with Smart Switch. I hadn't gotten time to fully back up everything, so I went to update the software as normal just to try 1 more time and saw the stable One UI 8 update come in! I'm not sure if I just had to wait a few days, but I was able to update without issue. Thank you @Mujibar and @kungfubass for both of your insight!
