Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra Receive April 2025 Update with Stability Boost, Security Patch

Samsung has begun rolling out a new April 2025 software update for its Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, delivering general stability improvements and an updated security patch, albeit still dated March 2025.

Minor Update, Major Size

While the official changelog lists only minimal changes—namely enhanced system stability and security improvements—the update comes in at a hefty 945MB, suggesting under-the-hood optimizations and potential bug fixes not explicitly listed.

Official Changelog:

• Stability and Reliability:

  • System stability has been improved.

• Security:

  • Device protection has been enhanced with an updated security patch.

Despite the label “April update,” the security patch is from March 2025, which is still an improvement over the November 2024 patch that shipped earlier this year.

Regional Rollout in Progress

As of now, the update is available in select regions only, with a global rollout expected in the coming weeks. Users are advised to keep their devices charged and connected to Wi-Fi before initiating the download due to the large file size.

To check for the update manually:

Open the Galaxy Wearable app.

Navigate to Watch Settings > Watch software update.

Tap Download and install.

What to Expect

Though the update appears minor on the surface, its significant file size hints at Samsung tackling background performance issues, potential battery optimizations, and Wear OS enhancements that aren’t detailed in the public notes.

As both the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra continue to evolve post-launch, these kinds of periodic stability updates are crucial for keeping the experience smooth and secure.
