Two Samsung apps targeting Android 16 are now available online. While Galaxy users wait for the One UI 7 update, the company is swiftly progressing the One UI 8 development. The listing of apps suggests things are going well ahead of the July debut.

Samsung Gallery and Weather apps from One UI 8 are available early, first spotted by ThatDev/X. It’s the first time we’re seeing the listing of app files on a famous third-party Android apps provider, and the list will expand further gradually.

One UI 8 brings revamped Gallery, Weather

The Gallery and Weather apps are getting massive interface changes in One UI 8. Leaked firmware revealed the company’s plans to revolutionize system applications to elevate the user experience with the next big upgrade.

One UI 8 will bring visible changes to the appearance of the Gallery app. The menu buttons will adopt global One UI shapes for a unified look. The Weather function will add sleek new animations, making it the biggest upgrade in years.

While the app files are available early, the installation failure is quite disappointing. I tried sideloading One UI 8 apps on One UI 7 so you don’t have to. The installation begins, but the process ends with a pop-up citing installation failure.

That said, the latest versions are compatible with One UI 8 only.

Samsung will launch Android 16-based One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7. The new foldable phones will likely launch in early July this year. We expect the One UI 8 Beta Program may go live in August or September this year.

Samsung has pushed a new update for its Interpreter app, now available in version 1.1.11.12. This update is rolling out to Samsung devices running One UI 7, and it brings enhancements to improve how the app works.

The Interpreter app is useful for travelers, students, and anyone who needs to understand or speak another language quickly. It is an AI-powered feature available in the Samsung Galaxy AI suite. It helps users overcome language barriers and communicate in any language.

Samsung didn’t give details about what’s new it brings, but users can expect a better experience after updating. The fresh update makes the app better by fixing minor bugs to enhance stability. It helps the app work faster and more reliably, especially when translating live conversations.

Beyond these changes, a reliable tipster @theordysm has spotted two new DIY options for home screen customization that have been added with this update. These features are as follows:

Animate Overlapping Items

This new toggle animates overlapping items when launching an app, creating a smoother and more dynamic transition. To activate this, simply turn on the “Animate overlapping items when the app launches” option in the DIY section.

One UI 7 Home Up missing on Galaxy Z Fold6, Flip6 and Tab S10 – There’s good news

Samsung has just rolled out a new update for its virtual assistant, Bixby, with the new version 3.7.12.18. The new update brings a useful enhancement to the user experience.

The fresh update adds a new “Say your command” option, which appears when you long-press the Bixby app icon. This means that when you now long press the Bixby app icon, a menu appears with three options.

These three options are:

• Bixby settings
• Type a command
• Say your command

The new option is the “Say a command” feature lets you speak directly to Bixby without fully opening the app. It’s a quicker way to ask Bixby to do something. Just press and hold the Bixby icon, then tap “Say a command” and speak. The new option has been spotted by a reliable tipster @Theordysm.

This update makes Bixby easier and faster to use. You don’t have to go through many steps to give a command. Whether you prefer talking or typing, the new options give you more control and flexibility.

Samsung Bixby 3.7.12.18 update is a minor but useful update that improves the overall experience. You can download the update through Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates.

If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, Flip6, or Tab S10, you might have noticed that the new One UI 7 Home Up module from Good Lock isn’t available yet.

Originally scheduled for early April, the Home Up module is yet to be rolled out for Galaxy Z Flip6, Z Fold6, and Tab S10 series running One UI 7. The good news? Samsung is close to releasing Home Up for these devices, expected in early next month.

One UI 7’s Home Up is popular for its DIY home screen options and personalized user experience. Until now, Home Up has been limited to the S series, but the demand for Home Up has grown as One UI 7 is now available on various devices.

Samsung’s team has been working to adapt Home Up for foldables and tablets.

For foldables like the Z Fold6 and Flip6, a feature called “Cover Screen Mirroring” is in development to customize the cover display. Tablets like the Tab S10 need support for both landscape and portrait modes, adding complexity.

Samsung initially aimed to release Home Up for foldables and tablets by early April 2025.

However, the current project reveals that it’s still under renewal, with a message saying it “will return soon.” The updated timeline points to early May 2025, as Samsung finalizes the module for One UI 7 compatibility.

With the new Home Up, you will be able to customize home screen layouts, tweak gestures, and use Cover Screen Mirroring on foldables. For tablets, expect a seamless experience in both orientations, enhancing multitasking and personalization.
