Android 14
Stable One UI 6.0 lacks support for some payment/banking apps
Samsung provided the One UI 6 stable update to the Galaxy S23 series in limited countries in late October 2023, while other eligible countries are still waiting for the update. The stable update has brought many new features as well as many bugs, which may be the reason why Samsung is delaying this stable update release in more countries.
Samsung Galaxy S23 series users who have updated to the stable One UI 6.0 based on Android 14 are facing a frustrating issue with their banking apps.
According to several reports, some banking apps are crashing frequently and randomly, preventing users from making transactions or accessing their accounts after installing a stable One UI 6 update.
The cause of the issue is not clear, but it could be related to the new privacy features in One UI 6.0, such as the Privacy Dashboard and the App Permission Monitor.
These features allow users to monitor and control how apps access their personal data and device functions. However, these features may also interfere with the normal functioning of some banking apps that require certain permissions or access to sensitive information.
Some possible solutions are to clear the cache and data of banking apps, uninstall and reinstall them, or disable the Privacy Dashboard and App Permissions Monitor. Hopefully, Samsung will fix this problem through a new update soon.
Aside from this, third-party app developers should update their apps with Android 14 support so consumers can continue to make use of them after a major upgrade.
Recently, a Samsung community moderator said that the One UI 6 stable update for the Galaxy S23 series will come with the November 2023 security patch for Korea, which will make it more secure and stable.
