Samsung has begun a stable One UI 8.5 rollout for the Galaxy S24 series in the US, initially on Verizon carrier-locked devices.

Android’s Hidden System Services Menu Lets You Manually Update Google Services

The article reveals a semi-secret Android update area called the System services section in Google services settings, where power users can manually update Google system services (for example, Google Play Services for AR) and access the Quick Share Extension. This area isn’t about pushing the latest Gmail or app updates via the Play Store; it focuses on security and reliability, with the potential for feature updates as Google rolls things out behind the scenes. Access paths differ by device (Pixel: Settings > Google profile > Google services and preferences > System services; Samsung: Settings > Google services > All services > System services).

Samsung expands AirDrop-style sharing to older Galaxy devices, but glitches linger

Samsung is extending its AirDrop-like file sharing to older Galaxy models (S22/S23/S24/S25 and Z Fold 7) via updates to Quick Share and its modules, but the feature isn’t fully working yet. Some users can see the option to share with Apple devices, while others cannot, and even when visible, nearby Apple devices may not appear. It appears server-side switches plus firmware/Play Services updates are involved, with Samsung likely to push further fixes in future updates.
