The next One UI iteration will debut with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. The One UI 6.1.1 will be provided to certain Galaxy phones in August this year. Additionally, the One UI 7 would also go official on the Beta channel, giving us our first look at advancements.
Android 15 will bring core enhancements and privacy features to Samsung devices. The remaining part is for Samsung, fueling the One UI with new Galaxy AI features, enhancing the user experience, adding new useful features, and addressing long-standing issues.
For sure, the Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get the Beta update in August. Later this year, when Samsung begins Stable One UI 7 rollout, the first batch of devices will contain the Galaxy S24 series alongside the upcoming foldable smartphones.
Epic times ahead!
After One UI 6.1, Samsung is gearing up for the release of its next software iteration based on Android 14, One UI 6.1.1. Ahead of its official launch, details about the update have already begun to surface, thanks to insights shared by community moderators. Also, Samsung has initiated the process of updating its apps with One UI 6.1.1 support.
The Korean tech giant is already updating its apps to ensure they work smoothly with One UI 6.1.1. The first app in line for this support is Samsung Theme Park, a module of Good Lock.
By preparing its apps early, Samsung aims to prevent any compatibility issues when One UI 6.1.1 is rolled out in the coming days. The company is ensuring the apps work smoothly with One UI 6.1.1.
Let’s check the list of Samsung apps that received One UI 6.1.1 support.
- Theme Park
- One Hand Operation +
- MultiStar
It is expected that Samsung will extend this support to more apps soon. Stay tuned with us to know more details.
Samsung has pushed the June 2024 update for Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 smartphones. This update is already available for users in Europe and the US.
The latest patch fixes 37 significant vulnerabilities within the Android operating system and addresses 22 specific issues related to Samsung’s software. It improves the overall performance of devices.
June 2024 update for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in Canada can be identified through the One UI build versions F926WVLS6IXF1 and F711WVLS7IXF1 respectively. Users will have to download a package size of around 400MB to install the update.
To install the update, users should navigate to the Software Update section found within the device’s Settings. They can select ‘Download and install’ from there to initiate the update process.
Aside from this, Samsung is also working on the next iteration of the One UI i.e. One UI 6.1.1. Last week’s report suggests that the next One UI 6.1 update is equivalent to the One UI 6.1.1. It is expected to be a major update, which will bring significant enhancements.
June 2024 security update live for Galaxy Z Flip 3, Fold 3 in Europe
Samsung is working on a “Family Data Sharing” feature for Galaxy Watch through the Health app. The feature is under development and may be rolled out after the Galaxy Unpacked event next month. Interestingly, we already have our first look at the feature’s user interface.
AndroidAuthority managed to activate the UI of the Galaxy Watch Family Data Sharing feature within Samsung Health app. It will let you monitor the data that your child or family member’s smartwatch receives. It would require manual setup, giving consent to link across Samsung accounts.
Samsung has also focussed on privacy and security while creating the data-sharing feature. The under-development user interface suggests that all members of the family will be able to stop sharing or change what and how much they share at any time.
Before you trigger, the function will display what’s going to be shared under the data-sharing feature. Additionally, you will need guardian consent to access a child’s health info. Once shared, the data will be deleted automatically after a certain period of inactivity.
Samsung should bring this upgrade to all smartwatch models with the One UI 6 Watch update. The app’s code doesn’t have any restrictive codes that would keep it limited to the upcoming Watch lineup. Galaxy AI’s inclusion is also appreciated, up-leveling health monitoring.
