One UI 5.0
Here’s what One UI 5.0 update brings to Samsung Galaxy S21 Notifications section
A bunch of Samsung smartphones got a chance to test the new Android 13-based One UI 5.0 software through beta updates. Besides the new features, I have found many improvements in my Samsung Galaxy S21 after installing the One UI 5.0 beta builds and these include the “Notifications” section in Settings.
Notifications are great to tell you if something new has happened to any of the applications on your smartphone so that you don’t miss anything that deserves your attention. However, we don’t usually like to have notifications for every application and want some changes.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Notifications: One UI 5.0
The interface of the Samsung Notifications menu in Settings is significantly revamped, you will notice instant changes as soon as you open it. The new interface is more clear, easy to understand, and takes up less space.
At first, there’s an “App notifications” option where you can select the apps that can send you notifications. Next is “Lock screen notifications”, which lets you customize the way you want to see your notification when your phone is locked. You can hide notification content, choose the type of notifications to appear, or show them on AOD or not.
After this, it has a “Notification pop-up style”, which lets you select whether you want to see notifications on Brief or Detailed. You can also select the apps that will show brief notifications, Edge lightning, and Color by keyword. There’s also an option “Show even while the screen is off”.
“Do not disturb” is the next feature you will see in this menu. You can schedule, which time you don’t want your phone to ring when a notification arrives. You can even select which apps’ notifications will be muted or which of your contacts can call you.
In the “Advanced settings” option, you can further customize your notifications with Floating notification type, history, reminders, app icon badges, actions & reply suggestions, and more.
After all these, there are two additional features: Notification sound and Flash notification. The first lets you select the vibration type, notification tone, temporary mute, and others. Whereas, the second one lets you enable a flashlight when a notification arrives.
Notification permission:
Notification permission is a new feature that One UI 5.0 has brought to Galaxy devices. It works exactly as it is named. When you use an app for the first time, it will ask you whether you want to receive notifications from it or not. You can say no to apps if you don’t want them to disturb you by sending worthless notifications.
Samsung provides the ability to disable app notifications for so long now. But it’s more convenient to have the app itself ask you for permission to send the notification.

In addition to South Korea and Germany, Samsung has now launched the Android 14-based One UI 6 Beta in the US. Users of carrier-unlocked or T-Mobile branded Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, or S23 Ultra smartphones can now sign up to get the Beta firmware via OTA.
It’s worth mentioning that the One UI 6 Beta is only available for T-Mobile and carrier-unlocked Galaxy S23 models in the US. This means Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, and other carrier users have no other option than waiting for the official rollout.
One UI 6 Beta comes with a redesigned Quick Panel, which looks stunning and well-crafted for accessibility. The animations are also tweaked but require further optimization as the current situation of transition effects is not up to the mark.
In a recent Newsroom article, the South Korean tech giant confirmed that the One UI 6 Beta is equipped with more new customization capabilities. The design is simple and eye-catching, which will surely enhance the everyday operations of Galaxy devices.
