Samsung One UI 6 could adopt Android 14’s insane Drag and Drop feature
Google continues to test new features in its upcoming Android version. In a recent development, an insane feature of Android 14 has been revealed, which must be included in Samsung One UI 6 in order to let Galaxy users drag and drop text and media files between apps.
With the iOS 16, Apple introduced it, letting iPhone users copy and paste text and images across functions with just a simple drag-and-drop operation. As Google is testing drag and drop feature on Android 14, we want Samsung One UI 6 software should not to miss it for Galaxy devices.

One UI 6 should bring drag and drop hack
As you can see in the videos embedded below (via SamSWUpdate / source Nail_Sadykov), Android 14 allows transferring text and media content such as photos between apps with drag and drop. The ability to make it possible even without split mode makes it more promising.
To utilize this drag-and-drop hack in Android 14, the source just needed to tap and hold on to the stuff he wanted to transfer. Once tapped, it’s possible to close the current app, keeping the text/media holded, and paste it into another app’s input field.
