Samsung phones could soon get Google Wallet Quick Settings Tile
Google Wallet could soon add its Tile in Quick Settings of Samsung phones. Pixel phones already feature a Quick Settings Tile, making it easier to access the Wallet app. This exciting news came from an APKTeardown that confirms the feature is under development.
Last month, Google Wallet rolled out a direct notifications function to Android devices. Now, the next significant development in Google Wallet is bracing to bring Quick Settings Tile to Samsung Galaxy phones.
Google Wallet’s version 24.26.x suggests that Quick Settings Tile for Galaxy phones is coming. As Samsung doesn’t offer QS Tile through the Android system, Google is making it a part of the Wallet application so more users would benefit. Here are the stings found in the new version:
- <string name=”quick_settings_tile_label”>Wallet</string>
- <string name=”quick_settings_tile_default_subtitle”>Tap to open</string>
As the feature is hidden behind app strings, the release timeline is uncertain. We guess Samsung phones could get it within July itself. The future release of the Wallet app through the Play Store might deploy QS Tile for general users.
With the One UI 6, the Galaxy maker debuted a radically resigned Quick Settings panel. It brings organized shortcuts that are easier to access than ever. Samsung should bring a dedicated area for Google services shortcuts for user convenience.
Samsung Pay and Samsung Wallet apps are available on Galaxy devices. While the Wallet app is limited to storing cards and offering NFC payments, Samsung Pay/Wallet is acceptable everywhere, thanks to collaboration with local banks and card providers.
Google continues to enhance user experience in Samsung devices. At the recent Unpacked event, both companies came along and reiterated their deep ties. Google is also optimizing its apps for Samsung devices to offer an elevated user experience.
Android 15 could launch in August this year alongside the Pixel 9 series. Samsung will likely begin the One UI 7 Beta Program earlier next month. Meanwhile, non-Beta participants could receive new features announced in One UI 6.1.1 firmware.
WhatsApp is a popular messaging app used globally for sending texts, making calls, sharing photos and other media. It regularly updates to improve its features and user experience. At the moment, WhatsApp for Android is releasing a new beta update that introduces a useful feature to improve group management within communities.
As per the latest information via WABetaInfo, the latest version 2.24.16.12 of WhatsApp adds a group description prompt when creating new community groups. This means that when community admins create a new group then they will see an option to describe the group’s purpose and rules.
In the screenshot, you can see that the group description option is located below the group name. This option is optional, which means that you are not required to fill out the description box.
You can choose to describe what your group is about to help members understand what to expect before joining, or you may leave it blank if you prefer. The decision is entirely up to you.
Previously, WhatsApp allowed users to add descriptions to individual group chats, but this option was not available for groups within communities.
The group description feature is being rolled out to some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta version from the Google Play Store. The update is expected to become available to more users soon.

According to the community moderator, the long press screen function will be included in Samsung RegiStar in a future software update. With this function, you can press and hold the screen to quickly perform certain actions or access settings. This can make using your device more convenient and efficient.
However, the moderator has not confirmed any exact timeline but it is expected to be released soon. We can only wait for the new software update.
Aside from this, the Samsung RegiStar app is currently offering a Back Tap feature and Side key press and Hold action. These two options allow you to perform several actions easily.
In a previous update, the Korean tech giant added several new features to the Samsung RegiStar app for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones. Users of these devices can perform actions even when the screen is off, such as receiving notifications through sound or vibration at specified times.
