Samsung One UI 7 Home Up app features

Samsung has released a new update for the Home Up Good Lock module, which is compatible with Galaxy devices running Android 15-based One UI 7. This update arrives with version 16.0.00.58 on Galaxy Store. It brings fixes to improve the overall experience for users who enjoy customizing their home screens.

The fresh update fixes issues that caused the “OneUI Home” app to crash when users entered the home screen editing mode while using the DIY home screen feature. This bug had been frustrating, making it impossible for some users to edit their home screens without the app closing unexpectedly.

With this update, the issue has been fixed. Now, users can now enter editing mode without experiencing any system interruptions.

Moreover, the update also fixes another bug where widgets would stay transparent after being deleted in the DIY home screen edit mode. This issue made it difficult to manage widgets. After this fresh update, when users remove widgets, they will now disappear properly without any transparency issues.

Along with these two major issues fixes, Samsung has also addressed some small bugs in the update. While the changelog hasn’t listed every single change,  these improvements help make the Home Up module run more smoothly.

The Home Up Good Lock module improves the home screen customization experience for Galaxy users. If you are using a Galaxy phone with One UI 7, you can download the new Samsung Home Up update via Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates or from the GoodLock app itself.

WhatsApp has released a new beta update, which introduces a feature that makes it easier to organize and navigate through chats. The update arrives with version 2.25.4.12 and is available through the Google Play Beta Program.

The new feature keeps the chat filters always visible at the top of your screen when you open WhatsApp. Filters are used to organize chats into categories like personal, group, or custom lists. Before this update, users had to scroll through their chat list to see these filters. Now, you can see the filters right away without any additional steps.

In addition to this new feature, WhatsApp is also showing a small number next to each filter. These numbers let you know how many unread messages are in each category. This makes it quicker to see if important messages are waiting for you.
