Galaxy devices will get Android 14 OS with a big One UI 6.0 upgrade, starting later this year. Samsung is expected to offer the passkeys feature to Galaxy devices with the major One UI 6.0 update. However, it’s reported that it will take a little more time for apps and websites to start adopting passkeys.
Apart from Dashlane, there will be more applications that get Passkeys support as Android 14 unlocks support for passkeys within third-party apps. It’s worth mentioning that another password manager platform 1Password recently announced the arrival of the Passkeys feature.
Dashlane explains that users can simply create a passkey using their fingerprint instead of entering a password. The fingerprint ties the authentication action to the user of the device, which prevents anyone else from creating and using passkeys on this specific device.
Here’s how the Dashlane passkeys feature will look:

One UI 6.0
Android 14 development began with Developer Preview and Google plans to seed the stable build by August 2023. Similar to the last year, Samsung should start One UI 6.0 Beta testing on Galaxy S23 in early August, followed by a stable release that will hopefully happen by October.
The One UI 5.0 and One UI 5.1 updates are all about refinements when it comes to visible changes. The company prefers safety and reliability over cosmetic changes, but it should also take inspiration from rival brands to offer an upgraded user interface.

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
