Samsung continues to upgrade eligible phones to One UI 8 as the Galaxy M56 Android 16 starts rolling out. The update is currently limited to India, but we expect it to be available more widely in the coming hours.
Galaxy M56 users can install the much-anticipated Android 16-based One UI upgrade. The device has been seen upgrading to a new OS via the Samsung community app, but only in India. Nevertheless, you can check for the update manually, as we expect a wider availability in the coming hours.
Details of Galaxy M56 Android 16-based One UI 8 update
Samsung is rolling out the much-anticipated upgrade with a firmware version M566BXXU3BYI6. The update size is 1,957.23MB, and that could mean only one thing. Some of the One UI 8 features that arrived for flagship phones are missing. If you are hoping for the Now Brief, Samsung has omitted it for the Galaxy M56 units.
Additionally, the update is rolling out with the September 2025 security patch. Nevertheless, a new update will bring the latest patch and also resolve any bugs that might have arrived with the cross-section Android upgrade. We recommend installing the update when prompted, or you can check for it manually.
If you decide to, head to Settings > Software update > Download and Install on your Galaxy M56. Follow the screen prompt to complete the download and reboot your device to finish the installation. Ensure to back up your important files before proceeding.
