This seems to have always been the case with manual updates, for some reason. Which is why I tend to wait for OTA updates. Not sure if this is an Asus-specific issue, or a general issue with Android updates.
@Bp@BPM I have reset my phone back to Android 11. Any idea how much time after I will get OTA update of Android 12? @Danish@Danishblunt@ARP Any suggestions?
