How to Exit One UI 7 Beta and Rollback to Stable Software
Samsung recently launched the One UI 7 Beta Program, giving users a chance to try out new features ahead of the official release.

Here's a step-by-step guide to exiting the One UI 7 Beta Program and rolling back to the stable software.
Why Roll Back from One UI 7 Beta?
The One UI 7 Beta Program is ideal for testing new features, but it’s not for everyone. Common reasons to exit the program include:

💡 Note: After withdrawal, you will stop receiving beta updates, and your device will no longer participate in the beta program.
Step 2: Roll Back to Stable Software

⚠️ Important: Rolling back to stable software will factory reset your phone. Make sure to back up your data beforehand.

- Withdraw from the beta program via the Samsung Members app as described in Step 1.
- Your device will remain on the current stable software without needing a rollback.
Final Thoughts
