Is there a way to stop the newest software update?

I've seen how awful it is and I've been able to put it off, but my phone just said it'll update next time my phone is off or in about a week at 2am or something. Or if there isn't a way to stop it would doing a factory reset once it updates help? But I don't really want to go through and set my phone back up the way I currently have it. Any help? Thanks!

Are you running Android 9 pie? 

 

I'm on oreo android 8 and wanted to stay on it, that's why I disabled everything but if I was on pie I'd leave it to update as it can only get better eventually lol

There is no way to disable on S10.  I try youtube, google and all those setting still get update and i ignore it but eventually it will update itself.

Nothing in developer settings? 

 

Personally though after oreo android 8 I wouldn't bother stopping updates. 

That was the whole reason for this thread, android 9 removes features like pro mode for video etc so people wanted to stay on oreo.

I found how to do it on the S10. I am sure everyone was able to find the Build Number in the about phone section. After I enabled that I went up top to the search bar and typed in developer options and clicked the 2nd one. There is where I was able to disable Auto Update.

I searched for it and clicked on the 2nd one that popped up and auto update was in there.
