Samsung Calendar with One UI 4.0 (Android 12) design and features unveiled
Introduced on November 15, the One UI 4.0 is officially available for the latest Samsung S flagship lineup in several regions. However, this Android 12 based software system is likely to expand to more Galaxy devices in near future, the company is updating the stock applications in the meantime.
This time, Samsung announced the new version of Samsung Calendar that equips the brand new One UI 4.0 design alongside additional features from Android 12. According to the official info, Samsung Calendar in charge in South Korea officially unveiled the latest version of this application.
What’s new
Starting with the user interface, the One UI 4.0 upgrade brings improvements to the visibility of Samsung Calendar. The company claims, the engineers wanted to offer a crisp and clean design experience that paper calendars provide. Accordingly, the major changes in Samsung Calendar are mentioned below.
- Now, you can see the schedule of a month at a glance on the monthly calendar.
- The date notation has been centered.
- The font size has been increased.
- The aspect ratio of the calendar area has been optimized.
Aside from this, Samsung improved the Calendar app with a design that allows you to focus only on the important content by removing visual obstructions such as background color and schedule bar from each calendar.
On the other hand, in the list view of the monthly calendar, the presence or absence of a schedule is displayed on a date, and when a date is selected, the schedule for that day is displayed as a list. Also, the start time of each event is highlighted in calendar color in order to prevent forgetting that event.
Last but not least, the newly added ‘ Month & Today ‘ widget shows the calendar and today’s schedule at once. And past events among today’s events will automatically disappear, enabling consumers to easily check only the remaining events.
One UI 4.0 x Android 12
Based on Android 12 OS, the One UI 4.0 comes with plenty of new features and customization options as well as a high-quality mobile experience that puts you in control. With a lot of new Color Palettes to choose from, you can change the look and feel of everything from your home screen to the icons, menu, button, and background.

WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update for Android users, which brings a camera shortcut directly to the gallery sheet to make it easier to access the camera while sending photos or videos. The fresh beta update arrives with version 2.24.24.23, available through the Google Play Beta Program.
Previously, WhatsApp improved the way users send photo and video albums. With that, users can select multiple photos and videos at once, and add captions to entire albums to make it simpler to share media with context.
The new update is adding even more improvements. The camera shortcut, which used to be in the chat bar, is now available directly inside the gallery sheet. It saves time and makes it easier to capture something new without navigating through multiple steps.
Now, when you’re selecting photos or videos to send, you can quickly switch to the camera without leaving the gallery. This new change might feel like an extra step for some users who were used to accessing the camera with a single tap from the chat bar. However, the update aims to combine both the camera and gallery functions into one place.
Notably, not all users will see this new camera shortcut. If you still have the camera shortcut in the chat bar, you won’t see the one in the gallery sheet. This is to avoid clutter and make the app more organized.
This feature is currently available to a limited number of beta testers, and it will be rolled out to more users in the coming days or weeks.
Google Messages introduces a new Backup and Restore feature to make it easier for users to back up and restore their text messages, media, and settings directly within the app. This feature’s strings have been spotted in the Google Messages 20241118_02_RC00 beta version.
Currently, Android users back up their messages through Google One at the system level, but this new update lets users manage backups from within Google Messages itself.
The backup system will offer end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your messages are fully secured. Only you will be able to access the backup, with protection provided by your device’s screen lock.
When signing into the app on a new device, your conversations will automatically restore, providing a seamless transition. However, some devices without a screen lock may not be eligible for encrypted backups.
The backup feature is closely associated with your Google Account and Google One storage, which means you’ll need some extra storage space for backups. While users can choose to turn off backups at any time. Turning off the backup will permanently delete your conversations from your Google Account, although they will still be on your device.
You can also choose to back up media only over Wi-Fi, which can help save mobile data. Additionally, Google Messages will allow you to sync messages across different devices as long as you’re signed into your Google Account.
Aside from this, Google Messages recently rolled out the “Double tap heart ‘feature for Android users. This makes it easier to send a red heart emoji in response to messages.
