Open Settings → Software update → Download and install. 2. Ensure you have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi preferred), and enough battery (or plug-in while updating). 3. If update doesn’t appear: wait a few days. Rollouts are often staged — sometimes it takes time for updates to reach all regions. ⚠️ What if you don’t see update yet? The rollout schedule varies by region and carrier. Even if One UI 8 + Android 16 is globally released, your S23 Ultra may get it a bit later depending on where you are. If it’s been a while and you still don’t see an update, you can try connecting to a PC and using official tools (for example, via the official update software for your region) — this has helped some users.
