Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series in South Korea is now receiving an update to the Group Sharing component, signaling the impending arrival of One UI 8.5 for eligible devices. The latest version, 13.8.51.5, is a 19.98MB download available through the Galaxy Store and aims to smooth out functionality as the broader One UI 8.5 rollout approaches.
While the update’s changelog references features like link-based invitations, family album sharing, and support for child accounts, those details actually stem from updates released a couple of years prior. This suggests the current release is primarily focused on optimizing Group Sharing for compatibility with the new One UI 8.5 features.
Currently, the Group Sharing update isn’t available on devices running One UI 8.0. Samsung is anticipated to release the stable One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy S25 series later this month or in March, with other compatible devices following in the subsequent months.
The previous update to the Group Sharing component was distributed via the Galaxy Store in November 2025.
