Samsung Wallet app has arrived in South Africa
Samsung officially launched the Wallet application to provide users with a single comprehensive digital wallet in June this year. Since then, the app is slowly making its availability in different countries. Now the company has launched the Samsung Wallet app in South Africa.
The Samsung Wallet app is a combination of old Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass apps. Interested Galaxy customers in South Africa can simply open Samsung Pay or Samsung Pass app on their phones and follow the prompts to update and migrate to Samsung Wallet.

It is worth mentioning that the release could be staged, which means it might not available for all South African customers in a single day. It will take some time to reach all users in order to enable a smooth update of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass to Samsung Wallet.

Furthermore, the combination of two old Samsung applications brings additional features to the users. It enables Galaxy device users to manage digital keys, access offline and online payments, membership cards, transportation cards, coupons, and many more.
The app is safe to use and is protected by defense-grade security from Samsung Knox. It also uses the Open Galaxy ecosystem by integrating with the Samsung Blockchain Wallet to help users easily monitor cryptocurrencies and SmartThings to unlock doors with a digital key.
Justin Hume, Vice President of Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics South Africa says –
“Samsung Wallet is a one-stop solution in replacing a physical wallet. This digital innovation is definitely bringing a new level of everyday convenience to mobile devices with a totally safe and secure environment for storing digital keys, cards and more. As part of our ongoing commitment to open ecosystems, we will continue to expand on the capabilities of Samsung Wallet by working closely with our trusted, local partners and developers.”
The app is now available in many countries and 11 other countries including Bahrain, Denmark, Finland, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Sweden, Vietnam, and U.A.E. will also get access to Samsung Wallet very soon.
YouTube Music offers a feature that allows music lovers to interact with each other through comments. Users can comment on any song, video, or podcast that they are listening to and join the conversation with other users who have similar tastes. Users can also explore user-generated playlists from the community and see their top listens.
Google could improve this YouTube Music feature by adding the option to comment on albums and playlists, and by letting users follow other users and see their comments in a feed. This would make YouTube Music a unique place to connect with music and people.
The UI was redesigned a few weeks ago to make key actions more accessible. Now, users can swipe up a panel of comments from the main YouTube app with just one tap on Android and iOS devices.
YouTube Music is not just a streaming service, but also a social network for music enthusiasts. It provides a platform for users to express themselves and engage with others through music. It also helps users discover new music and expand their musical horizons. YouTube Music is a place where music and people come together.

October 2023 is about to start and Samsung is going to release the stable One UI 6 update for Galaxy devices. Ahead of that, the Korean tech giant is releasing a new update for Samsung One UI Home (System Launcher). The update arrives with version 15.0.01.144 and is available on the Galaxy Store with an installtion package size of 21.49 MB. The update improves the performance and stability of the launcher, as well as fixes some bugs and issues.
The fresh update of Samsung One UI Home does not include any changelog but it is likely to include some improvements and fixes. It fixes issues that users encountered in the previous version for a smoother and faster experience.
Users can install the latest version of the One UI Home app through the Galaxy Store or download it directly from the third-party source link mentioned here.
One UI Home app manages the home screen and app drawer of Samsung devices. It also provides features such as themes, widgets, gestures, and app icons. The app is updated regularly to enhance the user experience and address any problems that may arise.
Google Calendar app allows users to organize their schedules as it offers various views to display events and tasks, such as day, week, or month. However, users may sometimes need to check the current date while browsing the calendar but the existing option to return to the current date’s view may disrupt the user’s navigation.
For that, Google is introducing a minor improvement to the Calendar app which is the “Today” button. It will display the current date on every screen. The date will appear between the search icon and the account switcher. It will resemble the application’s icon on Android 13+. This way, you can see the date without leaving the screen you are on.
At the moment, this change is only for phones, not tablets. Tablets will still show “Today” for the button. You need version 2023.36.1.x of Google Calendar for Android to see this change. If you don’t see it, you can restart the app.
