My new phone (Galaxy A16) keeps nagging me to update, despite having the notifications for them turned off. Samsung just forces it on you any ways, at least 1-2 times a day.

And guess why I was avoiding updating? Because of shit just like this... and there being no solid root method for the 2025 model (last I checked). So I definitely made the right call there.
