LG has begun rolling out webOS 23 (from 2023) to select 2022 TV models, featuring a refreshed homescreen and new features.
Owners from various regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, are reporting on Reddit that they have started receiving notifications for a firmware upgrade from webOS 22 to webOS 23.
It is a gradual roll-out, according to LG, so just wait for your turn. The new firmware will be available from the TV's built-in update menu.

LG has confirmed that 2022 8K OLED and 8K LCD models will also receive webOS 23. However, it is not yet clear if the A2 and B2 OLED models will receive the update as well.
Chromecast support next year
webOS 23 was first introduced with the 2023 models. As detailed in our article last week, there will be a one-year delay in webOS upgrades for older TVs, meaning that webOS 24 with built-in Chromecast support will not be available for older models until 2025. For a comprehensive overview, please refer to that article.
LG has committed to four webOS version upgrades over a five-year period for models from 2022 onwards.
Be aware that it is not possible to revert to an earlier version of webOS after the upgrade.
