S25 no longer allows me to answer calls, view incomming texts, or other apps since software update S931USQS3AYDF

Since the above update, I am no longer to answer calls, view texts from the screen prompt, or view content from any other screen prompt. The update initially downloaded at 13:29 CST (which is odd, since I am set to download updates at 02:00). I then manually pulled the update, and poof, now I have all these issues.

Have you tried installing Google dealer and see if that helps

Installing Google Phone from the app store has resolved the issue so far as being able to answer calls. I also had to set the Google Phone as the default application in settings.

Update concerning Samsung Support. I reported the issue, and they have escalated to Development along with a reference to this message chain. My bet is they'll try to duplicate the issue and then push out a fix with a new release. Thanks to all who helped me work through to a temporary solution.
