Meanwhile, the Samsung community moderator confirmed that the Galaxy S21 series’ multi-control and Image Clipper feature software rollout schedule has been changed to April. The development team is testing both features and the public deployment is expected next month.

“As the schedule for the S21 series multi-control function support version has changed, we will respond further. We are currently preparing a version that includes the multi-control function and Image Clipper function, and the target schedule has been changed to April.”

Following the launch of the Galaxy S23 series, consumers having older Samsung devices started demanding the multi-control feature. It’s a new service that lets users access data, files, and photos/videos across Galaxy devices (such as phone to PC) for added productivity.

On the other hand, the Image Clipper feature was missing in the One UI 5.1 software. Using it, you can create a cutout of the object from any image stored in the Gallery app. Moreover, the clipper feature also supports grabbing cutout from video files by pausing the stream.

Just recently, a tipster revealed that the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series will get an Image Clipper feature in April 2023. A company moderator disclosed in the past that all the flagship Galaxy devices are compatible with the Galaxy S23’s Image Clipper feature, while availability may vary depending on the market and model.
