Here, in this article, I and going to show you the 5 biggest iOS 16 features that Samsung One UI 4.1 phones have right now!
5 Samsung One UI 4.1-inspired iOS 16 features
Smarter Lock Screen
The headliner feature for iOS 16 is Lock Screen customization. You can finally make the Lock Screen truly yours by choosing a color and typeface for the clock, as well as adding informative or fun widgets. Meanwhile, Samsung One UI did it earlier.
The Korean company offers ‘at a Glance Widget’, which intelligently provides similar information by giving you an idea of what you’ll need. It always shows the weather, date, schedules, notifications, media, and others. These are more powerful than what Apple started offering now.
Automatic Sharing in Photos
iOS 16’s Photos app gets the ability to share photos of your family in a shared album you all have access to. Once the shared library is set up, you can share photos instantly right from Camera, choose to share automatically when other shared library members are nearby, and get smart suggestions for adding photos to the shared library in For You.
While considering Samsung, using the Google Photos app, the Galaxy owners has the ability to do so for around two years. Google Photos’ equivalent lets you automatically share photos that include that person. You can even upload photos from a DSLR from any computer and have them shared as well.
Smarter dictation with punctuation
Apple now allows you to move seamlessly between voice and touch to enter text. You can type with the keyboard, tap in the text field, move the cursor, and insert QuickType suggestions, all without needing to stop Dictation.
Android 12-based One UI 4 has had the same feature since last year. You can interact with the text as you type, have voice control over what you’ve already typed, and proper punctuation.
Multiple stops in Maps
With iOS 16, Apple Maps gets support for adding up to 15 stops along a route to Maps. This seemingly simple feature has been in Google Maps for years.
However, the only real difference between these two applications is that Apple Maps supports up to 15 stops while Google Maps only supports 10.
Live Captions
Apple introduces the Live Caption feature for iPhone users. You can now turn audio into text in real-time and follow along more easily with conversations and media.
Samsung on the other hand had this feature for years. It uses Google’s voice recognition technology to provide captions for content on phones that didn’t already have closed captions.

One UI for All Devices: Samsung announces unified software for 2025
At the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2024, Samsung has announced an important change that all its products will unified under a single software experience called One UI next year. Through this, the company aims to make things easier for users of all Samsung devices.
Samsung’s software is currently available in different products like mobile devices, TVs, and home appliances, each with its own name. Starting in 2025, Samsung will bring all these under the One UI brand to make things easier for users.
One UI has been used for mobile devices since 2018, and now it will also be used for other products. By unifying everything under One UI, Samsung hopes to create a smoother and more consistent experience.
Moreover, Samsung has also promised to offer up to seven years of operating system upgrades for its mobile devices. This means users can expect longer support and updates, keeping their devices running smoothly and safely for years.
Aside from this, Samsung is also focusing on artificial intelligence (AI). To achieve its “AI for All” goal, Samsung will focus on using AI for good to help people solve social problems and make the world better for future generations.
