I have, today, received a notification titled: Configuration update
Sub title: System configuration update
Detail: Tap here to install the latest updates
I've never seen it before and quick web search produced these 2 results:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/g9l17b/system_configuration_update/
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s10e-s10-s10-s10-5g/configuration-update/td-p/2045676
I don't think either are relevant but both had comments within the last 2 months so I included them for completeness.
I wanted to post this so that the outcome and replies would be visible and searchable for anyone else who had this notification to update as to whether it was actually safe.
It looks like it is a valid Samsung update to phone configuration in line with recent monthly Android updates but from the details (long press) it is not conclusive. It does not tell you the vendor.
I am asking for 3 reasons.
1. If it is a standard Samsung update process why have I not seen it before?
2. I recently received a blatent phishing SMS with either some clever table formatting or a crafted image. I can't tell which because I just deleted it.
3. A search of this forum doesn't seem to include anyone asking about this. Maybe it's new. The Reddit post only seems to go back 6 months but I assume configuration updates would also be regional
For Information I am in the UK, on Three, using a Note 10 Plus 4G. I updated to the October Android update a couple of days ago.
