Yep, if you’ve got an S24 model locked to AT&T, chances are you still haven’t seen the update hit your phone – and people are not happy. Reddit is full of frustrated posts from AT&T customers wondering when the update will finally drop.
Does anybody have the slightest idea when they’re going to release the update or do we wait forever and ever and ever.

It’s been over 15 days since UI 7 got released, but when is ATT gonna let it go to it’s S24 owners. I know they’re always late to the party when it comes to updates but this is ridiculous. Has there been any word from them about releasing it or are they just trying to push the s25 by not letting s24 users have UI 7.

The delay reportedly stems from a bug in AT&T‘s pre-installed apps that needed to be ironed out. But it looks like AT&T may have finally fixed things because a few users are finally starting to report that the update is rolling out to their locked devices.

One UI 7 is a big update. Based on Android 15, it brings smarter AI tools that help you write, edit, summarize, clean up audio and even generate images from sketches. Visually, there is a fresh coat of paint – redesigned widgets, animated lock screens and more cohesive icon styles.

Camera controls are more streamlined, pro video options are easier to find and battery plus security settings have gotten some serious upgrades. There are also new accessibility tools like one-finger zoom and improved touch testing.
Long story short, this update isn’t just cosmetic – it is packed with improvements. So yeah, people are totally justified in being mad about the delay.
We’ve reached out to AT&T for a comment and will update the story when we have a response.
