Furthermore, in order to use this function, you first need to download the iCloud for Windows app and update the Photos app from the Microsoft Store. After this, you will have to sign in to iCloud using your Apple ID and enable photo library sync.

Once done, all your pictures and videos that are saved in your iPhone’s iCloud will start automatically appearing in the Windows 11 Photos app on your laptop.

Dave Grochocki, principal product manager lead for Microsoft’s Windows inbox apps states“We know that many Windows customers have photo and video collections on their iPhones that they would like to be able to view on their PC. This iCloud Photos integration will make it easier for those with an iPhone to have direct access to all their cherished memories in one organized place and is another step in our continued efforts to make experiences on Windows 11 seamless.”

One UI 7

Samsung will roll out Android 15 to Galaxy devices in 2025, but we had a sneak peek of One UI 7.0 at SDC24. Google is all set to start the Public Android 15 rollout this month, while Samsung has pushed back the One UI 7 Beta to the end of the year.

The company is working on the Android 15-based One UI 7.0. The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get it on the Beta channel. Dozens of Galaxy devices are eligible for this major upgrade, forming a big rollout later this year.

Android 15

The new OS entered Developer Preview in February and Public Beta in April. Google so far released four major Public Beta updates for Pixel devices. The Android 15’s QPR Beta activity has also started ahead of the October release for Pixels.

Android 15 focuses on improving device performance and power efficiency. It’s also well-optimized for the artificial intelligence era. Consumers can expect faster app loading, longer battery backup, enhanced security and privacy, and core improvements at the OS level.

One UI 7

At SDC24, Samsung teased some One UI 7 changes and features. The Beta Program will start in late 2024, while Stable set to be released next year. The S23 series received One UI 6 Beta in August last year, but this year’s schedule has entirely changed.

One UI 7.0

Samsung held this year’s Developer Conference on October 3. The event’s stage was utilized to introduce new One UI 7 features and enhancements. The company has also showcased advancements in Tizen and SmartThings.

One UI Beta build can be installed on your primary handset, but we prefer avoiding it. If you don’t want to counter bugs and functional errors, Beta isn’t for you. Consider waiting till the Stable rollout commences enjoying One UI 6.1.1.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Samsung Galaxy AI

Samsung One UI 7 is set to introduce new AI features for Galaxy phones. After the initial Galaxy AI arrival, Apple debuted Apple Intelligence with iOS 18. Samsung has also introduced new AI features with One UI 6.1.1 software to counter Apple’s entry.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Galaxy AI brings both on-device AI and cloud-processing-based features. The latest frontier of Galaxy AI debuted on July 10 with the Galaxy Z6 series. Nevertheless, we are excited about more new and useful AI features with the 2025 iteration.

Enhanced on-device and cloud AI

The Galaxy S24 and Z6 series are powered by the Gemini Nano AI model. Google is working on Gemini Nano v2, which will have more AI capabilities, power efficiency, and reliability. Smartphones equipped with this new AI model would benefit.

With on-device AI features, consumers don’t need to worry about privacy. At the same time, consumers get quite useful image and video editing tools as well as wallpaper generators through cloud-based AI.

OS-level writing tools

One UI 7 should follow Apple’s edge of system-wide writing tools. Galaxy’s next major Galaxy AI upgrade should bring features like rewrite, proofread, and summarize. Upgraded writing assistance will surely help Galaxy users in their everyday tasks.

AI notifications

Notifications are the most important aspect of our phones. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, or social media interaction, the notification is the key to all. Due to multiple apps and services, users often face a condition where arrangement becomes a tough task.

Apple Intelligence managed to address the problem with the Priority Notifications. AI learns the usage patterns and importance plus priority of notifications. Based on deep analysis, the OS displays priority notifications on top followed by others.

Image and video enhancement

One UI 6.1’s Photo Editor added many useful tools for pro-editing in less time. Many third-party AI-powered photo editing apps are loaded with cool features. Samsung should adopt such tools to offer an effortless editing experience on Galaxy devices.

Smart Circle to Search

Circle to Search is a great feature that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung and Google expanded it to their flagship devices. Besides, Google is working to fulfill its commitment to installing Circle to Search on 200 million devices worldwide.

This functionality should be further optimized with system functions. The addition of the translate button is worth praising and we need Circle to Search to evolve further. Apple’s iPhones have no similar or equivalent feature to Circle to Search.

One UI for all
