We previously reported that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G was leaked, but this is not the only Samsung-news that we have to share. The South Korean based tech giant has also released a major update for the Samsung Internet Browser that is installed as the default option on all its smartphones, similar to how Safari works on Apple’s iPhones. The new update sports the 12.1.1.36 version number and today we are going to cover everything there is to know about it.
Samsung Internet Browser 12.1.1.36 Update
The first thing that we want to highlight about Samsung Internet Browser’s new update is that it is available to download via OTA (over the air) channels. Therefore, all Samsung Internet Browser fans who use an Android-powered smartphone are eligible to get the update as soon as it starts rolling out in their area.
We also want to note that there is a faster alternative way to access the update, but more complicated. The new update is also available to manually download and install in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). This type of update is compatible only with Android-powered smartphones that have enabled the “Unknown Sources” option in their Settings menu.
What’s New?
According to the patch notes, the latest update for Samsung Internet Browser introduces a new feature that makes it possible for users to open links in secret mode from the context menu. To make things even better, the update also improves the performances of the password manager so that many other apps can access it and allow autofill ID & password.
