To update the software on your Samsung Galaxy M20 manually, you can use the built-in settings on the device or Samsung's Smart Switch software on a computer. Before starting, it is recommended to back up your data and ensure your battery is charged to at least 20% (some guides suggest over 50%).
Method 1: Update Directly on the Device (OTA)
This is the most common "manual" check performed over-the-air.
- Access Settings: Swipe up to open the app drawer and select Settings.
- Find Update Menu: Scroll down and tap Software update (some models may list this under System updates).
- Download and Install: Tap Download and install or Check for updates.
- Follow Prompts: If an update is available, you can select Install now, Schedule install, or Later.
Method 2: Update Using a Computer (Smart Switch)
If your device is not finding the update over Wi-Fi, you can use a PC or Mac.
- Install Smart Switch: Download and install the Smart Switch application on your computer from the official Samsung website.
- Connect Device: Use the original USB data cable to connect your Galaxy M20 to the computer.
- Detect Update: Open Smart Switch on your computer. If an update is available for your device, an Update button will appear on the main screen.
- Start Process: Click Update and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the files. Do not disconnect the cable until the process is complete.
Summary of Tips
- Wi-Fi Recommended: Use a stable Wi-Fi connection for OTA updates to avoid high data charges.
- Storage Space: Ensure you have at least 1GB of free memory available for the update files.
- Security Updates: You can also specifically check for security patches by going to Settings > Biometrics and security > Security updates.
