About an hour back, Samsung US announced that the One UI 6 Beta Program is starting today for the Galaxy S23 series. Meanwhile, the company has now pulled the Newsroom article, for the second time in a row, with the first attempt by Samsung Germany.

When Samsung accidentally announced the One UI 6 Beta and then removed the post, it was revealed that the software has some bugs. Due to the problems, the company has reportedly delayed the launch, which happened today again, but ended up in the same situation.

YouTube Shorts 3 minute

YouTube currently has a feature called Shorts, where users can create videos that are 60 seconds long. Starting October 15, YouTube will let users create Shorts of up to 3 minutes long. This change is a boon for creators as it gives them more time to share their ideas with more content.

Many creators have been asking for this change, and now YouTube is finally making it happen. Google mentioned that it is the top-requested feature by creators. With the 3-minute time limit, creators can include more details in Shorts.

It is worth mentioning that the new length will apply to videos that are square or taller in the aspect ratio to keep the Shorts format easy to view and engaging. Any Shorts uploaded before October 15 will remain the same and won’t be affected by this update.

Aside from this, YouTube is also changing the look of the Shorts player to make it cleaner and easier to use. The buttons will have a simple outline instead of color-filled ones and there will be a single line for descriptions.

Viewers will soon be able to see what others are saying about a video as comments will soon be visible directly in the Shorts player. YouTube will soon provide ” Show fewer Shorts ” options on the Home feed.

There’s more for creators as soon they can easily remix clips from various YouTube videos right in the Shorts camera. They’ll also be able to use templates to match trends and add their personal touch. Overall, Google hopes to make YouTube Shorts more user-friendly, easy to use, and engaging.

One UI 7 dev Beta arriving in late 2024, fans left waiting!

Samsung One UI 7 Beta

Samsung confirmed One UI 7 Beta coming by the end of this year for developers. We were guessing a short and limited Beta availability this year. In a shocking development, the company announced One UI 7 rollout will start next year.

We observed a major reshuffle in Samsung’s software strategy this year. The company fueled many features in the One UI 6.1 update. The One UI 6.1.1 is also a big update, which expanded in much time as compared to previous versions.

One UI 7 Beta was not announced in August, its usual release month. September was also left waiting and seemingly October will also change nothing. Samsung says, One UI 7 Beta will release for developers by the end of this year.

Previous Beta activities still had wider availability among users. However, we don’t expect the same to repeat this year with One UI 7. With “developers” the company might have meant to a limited audience for a limited period.

The Beta release is scheduled for later this year, quite close to January’s Stable debut. So, flagship Galaxy users have to be satisfied with One UI 6.1.1 features. The next big thing would arrive when you would have guessed the 7.1 release.

At SDC24, the company also teased core design elements of the One UI 7. The firmware will bring a new user experience focused on simple, impactful, and emotive design. The home screen layout will also add intuitive grid functionality for better UX.
