Samsung is running the Beta Program of Android 14-based One UI 6, with a Stable release arriving next month. The new One UI 6 update will bring an innovative feature called Screen Curtain to your Galaxy device. It’s quite useful for consumers, let’s get into the details.

What is a Screen Curtain?

The One UI 6 introduces a Screen Curtain feature, which lets you turn off only the screen when required while running an app. By using the Screen Curtain feature, your Galaxy device will continue to run the app, while the battery consumption and heat generation will be reduced.

How to get and use?

1. Install/run Good Guardians from the Galaxy Store and select ‘Battery Guardian’.
2. After running Battery Guardians, select Add to quick settings window from the screen curtain menu.
3. Now, if you only want to turn off the screen while running the application, try running the screen curtain added to the quick settings window.
4. When the screen curtain runs, information about the currently running application is briefly displayed and the display remains in a low-power state.
5. To close the Screen Curtain, touch the screen twice or press the power key.

Notably, an update may be required if you have already installed Battery Guardian. As a beta feature, unexpected problems may occur. If it is not necessary to maintain the Screen Curtain state, it can be automatically shut down and enter the screen lock state.
