Furthermore, this update brings a feature that allows users to use Bluetooth microphones when recording audio via the Voice Recording app. However, the update terminates support for MirrorLink. Recall that Samsung has since announced that it will stop support for MirrorLink, Car Mode, and Find My Car.

If you own the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra, you should get this update in the coming days. As usual, all units will not receive this update simultaneously thus you may have to wait longer.
