  I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won’t ever empty my storage again.

    I know this is a joke… But just in case:

    You know that you can turn off automatic updates, right?

      It actually wasn’t a joke. I went from SGN20U back to a Pixel for a few years, before getting my current Fold6. My prior experience with Samsung was that you could not disable updates and you couldn’t even delay updates because it’ll only let you snooze it for a day or two before it forces the update down your throat no matter what. Had it happen once while I was driving in unfamiliar territory and lost navigation for 15 minutes. Had it happen overnight once and my alarm didn’t go off in the morning. Infuriating.

      I did go ahead and turn off auto download just now - if it actually works without constant nagging, I’ll be thrilled. Cheers.
