Stock Android 11 features include one-time permissions, device controls, quick access wallet, media controls in the quick settings, or Conversations in notifications and Samsung has tried to implement most of these features in One UI 3.0. However, some of the features including the device control are not part of One UI 3.0 because Samsung already has its own device control center.

Additionally, there are some features from the miscellaneous section including the new minimal battery use mode, which applies a dark theme, a minimal home screen, and limits apps for maximum power saving. Also, it has a new enhanced processing mode that boosts performance and more.

Bixby routines getting a new upgrade that allows you to set a custom icon for each routine, what actions are reversed when a routine ends, toggle various accessibility features, trigger Bixby, use new conditions, and more. There are also some Digital Wellbeing improvements.

Furthermore, the One UI 3.0 beta also brought users a new look at its stock Samsung apps. Now, you can revert any edits you make, Samsung messages now adds a new bin to store deleted messages, and the Contact app helps you quickly delete similar contacts and even more.

Samsung Internet is also getting some new changes, that include the ability to lock/reorder tabs, block pages from hijacking the back button, warnings about malicious sites, hiding the status bar when scrolling, and more.

One UI launcher now has new changes in the context menu section with an option to place a related widget by long-pressing an app icon. There’s also a new feature called “double-tap to sleep” that lets you turn off your display by double-tapping on the display’s empty area.

Samsung keyboard now supports inline autofill suggestions and image copy-past. However, it doesn’t offer new Android 11 emojis.

These are some of the key new changes made into the One UI 3.0 but since it is a beta build, it’s possible that Samsung may add additional features before One UI 3.0 goes to the public.

Android 15 DP2 introduces ‘Audio Sharing’ feature for shared listening experience

Published

Android 15 audio Sharing

Google brings a new feature called Audio Sharing with Android 15 DP2. This new feature allows a device to broadcast audio to multiple Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. This is mainly useful for sharing music or videos with others without the need for additional things or hardware.

Audio sharing is made possible by advancements in Bluetooth technology, including the new Bluetooth LE Audio standard. One of the key benefits of this technology is “Auracast,” which can broadcast audio to several listeners at once. This has significant applications, such as helping individuals with hearing impairments or those requiring language translation services.

Currently, within Android 15’s settings, there is a section for “Audio sharing” that includes a toggle switch and a test sound feature. However, these are early versions and may not be fully operational.

As development progresses, the “Audio sharing” feature in Android 15 is expected to improve and offer a more user-friendly and inclusive audio experience.

Samsung Auracast Feature

Auracast is a feature that allows users to broadcast the audio they are playing on their devices to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as headphones, speakers, or other phones.

Samsung announced One UI 6.1 update will bring several new features and enhancements along with the Auracast support to the Galaxy S23 series except for the S23 FE, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, and the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Android 15 DP2 brings app archiving to system settings

Published

on

Android 15 App archiving feature

Google recently released the Android 15 Developer Preview 2, which introduces several new features, one of which is App Archiving. This feature helps to manage apps that are not used frequently.

The app archiving feature allows users to archive apps directly from the system Settings, offering a more organized and efficient way to manage unused applications. Users can easily identify archived apps on the home screen and app launcher, with their icons grayed out and marked by a cloud/download symbol.

In the app information section, users will find an “Archive” button next to the “Uninstall” option. With a simple tap, apps are archived, confirmed by a toast message. Previously, users had to navigate to the top-right corner to find the “Open” option. It should be noted that this function does not apply to system apps.

Android 15 app archiving

Users can get these apps again from the Play Store or choose to “restore” them from the app information. Android 15 will take back the permissions that were previously set for the app after it is restored.

Although this app archiving capability is not yet integrated with Google Play’s similar feature. Additionally, the “Pause app activity if unused” toggle has been renamed to “Manage app if unused,” which now includes removing permissions, deleting temporary files, stopping notifications, and storing apps.
