One UI 4.0 adds advanced customization capabilities and privacy controls
Samsung’s One UI user interface brings an integrated mobile experience to Galaxy smartphones with simpler and easier interaction and clean and elegant design. And, the One UI 4 beta participants will be able to experience customizable capabilities and privacy controls that give them the ability to design their best mobile experience – the one that best suits their individual needs and allows them to express themselves.
With a One UI 4, users get customization options all the time. The wealth of themes options allow users to customize the appearance and performance of their device, providing them with tools to customize their home screens, icons, notifications, wallpapers and much more. However, here, we are discussing the Device Care and Privacy feature of the device in One UI 4.0.
Samsung One UI 4.0 Device Care
Battery issues are a major reason to look at the Device Care menu, now it has an intuitive interface to help you quickly diagnose issues with your phone. The primary screen now highlights both battery life and safety issues. The complete status of the phone is now displayed as emoji, instead of just green points, making it easy to determine how things are going at a glance.
If you see any problems with your device, you can go directly to the Samsung Members check-up from Device Care. Try the diagnostic tests to find out what the problem is and get suggestions for solving it.
The option to protect your battery by limiting the charging to 85% now appears in the Device Care menu. This option has been added to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, introduced with One UI 3.1.1, so it makes sense to see it in One UI 4 for other devices.
Samsung One UI 4.0 Privacy Feature
Some of the most significant improvements in the One UI 4 focus on privacy. The new Permission Usage History menu allows you to view all permissions used by each application over time. You can easily disable the camera, location, and microphone permissions directly within the menu.
Now you get pop-ups in all apps asking if you want to get notifications. This may be a little annoying, but it’s better than turning on notifications or turning off all apps automatically.
When you talk about pop-ups, you will also get one each time the app asks to use your location. You can choose between the exact location or the approximate location of each application. For apps that only need to know your general location, such as weather apps, you can allow access to your location so they can determine your exact location.
A green dot will now appear in the upper-hand corner of the screen when the app uses the camera or microphone to see if the app is recording without your permission. You can also use the quick settings controls to temporarily block all applications from using the camera or microphone.
When you copy and paste sensitive information such as credit cards, you can now be notified if any application accesses the information stored on your clipboard. It seems that privacy has been a major issue for Google in its Android 12 update, which is why we are seeing these great new privacy features extend to Samsung’s One UI 4 software.

Samsung has updated its Keys Cafe Good Lock module app to version 1.6.1.10, which enhances its compatibility with the latest One UI 6.1. This update refines the user interface and provides a seamless experience across its devices.
The main highlight of this update is the theme optimization for One UI 6.1, which ensures that the visual elements of the Samsung Keys Cafe app blend smoothly with the overall theme of the user interface.
In addition, the update brings a series of bug fixes to improve the app’s stability and performance. Among the improvements, users will notice the solution of app interruptions, which previously restricted the app’s operation. It also corrects errors that occurred while selecting images for personal stickers and fixes issues on the key effect screen.
The typing practice start screen error, the progress bar error which reflects the key size in keyboard editing, and the empty key label issue have been addressed with this update.
Furthermore, the update also fixes input problems with the Chinese keyboard in the custom keyboard save menu and resolves issues that occurred when the device was rotated in the keyboard creation dialog.

Owners of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 have encountered an issue with applying custom keyboard themes. The selected themes are not fully applied, showing incomplete customization. This issue was brought to attention through a Reddit post, where a user expressed difficulty in applying the blue theme to their keyboard.
A Reddit user reported that despite selecting their preferred theme, the blue theme, only some parts of the keyboard reflect the change and leave the rest in default or bright color.
In response, a community moderator stated that the Theme Park keyboard theme does not apply properly when the color palette feature is active. This has been identified as a software issue within the current UI.
Samsung has acknowledged the Keyboard customization issue and confirmed that the One UI 6.1 update will resolve this issue, scheduled to be released early next month.
Until the release of the One UI 6.1 update, the moderator recommends disabling the color palette to allow the themes to apply correctly. This temporary solution will enable users to enjoy their chosen keyboard themes without error.
