Samsung has released the second beta update for its One UI 7, bringing significant visual changes to the Quick Panel on Galaxy S24 devices. The new design overhaul focuses on the layout of controls, particularly the placement of brightness and volume sliders.
A notable change is the switch in the positions of these controls. In the previous version (Beta 1), they were arranged differently, while Beta 2 places the brightness control above the volume slider. This update aims to provide a more intuitive user experience.
Furthermore, Samsung has introduced a new feature called Now Bar, which allows users to access various system services and applications directly from the home screen. The Now Bar is currently available for a limited number of apps, but its potential expansion to more system services and third-party developers is promising.
Additionally, a new version of the One UI Home app (16.0.00.203) has been released, which improves performance, stability, and security on Galaxy S24 devices running One UI 7 Beta 2. Users can download this update through an automatic software update or from a third-party app link.
The demand for an App Lock feature in One UI 7 is growing, driven by increasing concerns over privacy and security. Samsung has acknowledged user feedback and stated that it is evaluating the feasibility of adding this feature to future updates. An app lock would provide users with an additional layer of protection for sensitive apps like Gallery, Samsung Files, and social media applications.
Overall, these updates demonstrate Samsung’s commitment to improving its One UI 7 experience through refinements in design, new features, and enhanced performance.
