The update adds an updated version of the Gallery app, Quick Share, Music Share, AR Emoji improvements, and an enhanced Samsung keyboard.

The update is currently rolling out in Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey. In the coming weeks, the update is expected to become available in several other markets, including the U.S. Once the update is available, you will receive a notification on your phone.
