Several Samsung Galaxy users are facing issues with the Edge Lighting feature after updating to One UI 6.1.1. This issue has caused inconvenience and frustration for those who rely on these features for notifications.
According to some reports in the community, the Samsung Edge Lighting feature stops working after the One UI 6.1.1 update. Users have to either erase or disable the Edge Lighting+ app to get it back.
Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the Edge Lighting+ issue and apologized for the problem it has caused. The community moderator has confirmed that Samsung is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.
The company plans to improve the compatibility between the Edge Lighting feature and the Edge Lighting+ Good Lock app in an upcoming software update, which should allow both features to work together without needing to turn one off.
However, the community moderator has also mentioned that it’s difficult to give a specific timeline for when this update will be available. The schedule for software updates can change for various circumstances.
Users are advised to be patient as Samsung works on resolving the issue and a new software update will be soon available with a fix.
For now, affected users can disable Edge Lighting+ to use Edge Lighting functionality. While this is not a permanent solution, it allows users to continue receiving notifications until the official fix is released.
Samsung phones could soon get another anti-spam feature in Google Messages. APKTeardown by AndroidAuthority brings a sneak peek at what coming next. Google is preparing to deploy an intelligent method to sort spam messages.
Google Messages is preparing to add a “cross-country” category for organizing texts: ones from unknown international sources. It could be available as an optional category, which you can decide to implement, and which country codes would be barred.
Though some manual work is to be done, it will help reduce spam a lot. Consider you have no contact links with an international business, but getting regular messages. These specified texts will be categorized under cross-country.
Samsung is pushing Galaxy users to make Google Messages default. The company believes that the expansion of the Google Messages app will boost RCS availability. Google is therefore continuing to improve spam protection with new features.
The problem of spam isn’t ending anytime soon. Google Messages manages to identify most of the suspicious messages and mark them as spam. Cross-country could be just like the ability to manually tag texts for sorting.
