Speaking of the changes, the latest beta fixes an issue where the Settings app could freeze or display a white screen while accessing certain menus and also addresses an issue with the lock-screen camera widget that could cause it to launch slowly or display a black screen.
The bottom floating bar in the Phone app which was not displaying correctly, as well as another bug that could temporarily show a blank screen while opening the Recent files list in the My Files app has been addressed via this update.
Apart from this, Samsung has addressed an issue where 1×1 shortcuts could not be added to the bottom bar of the Home screen. The preview screen position in Video Editor and Photo Editor could also previously become misaligned or flicker, and this has now been fixed.
Another fix addresses intermittent screen flickering under certain conditions, while Wi-Fi connection errors have also been fixed along with improvements to overall connection stability.
After installing the update, users can also update Samsung apps to their latest available versions.
Samsung had originally introduced the One UI 9 beta programme for the Galaxy S26 series back in May, with India being among the supported markets.
With the fifth beta update now being rolled out with the August security patch and several bug fixes, the Galaxy S26 series appears to be moving closer to receiving its stable One UI 9 update.
