Samsung One UI 7 will make Deco Pic a Standalone app
Samsung has announced a change for Galaxy phone users with the release of One UI 7. The popular Deco Pic feature that allows Samsung users to add fun stickers and decorations to photos will no longer be available directly in the camera or AR Zone with the upcoming One UI 7. The company is making it a standalone app with the next major update.
The Korean tech giant is notifying Galaxy users about this major change via notice. If you use Deco Pic on your Galaxy phone, you’ll see a notice when you open the camera app. It informs users that Samsung Deco Pic will no longer be part of the camera or AR Zone with One UI 7.
Instead, the Deco Pic will become a separate app that users need to download or update from the Samsung Galaxy Store. Although this change might be a little inconvenient for some users, Samsung assures that it is working to improve the service and user experience.
The notice is just meant to keep you informed about the change and help you understand what you need to do. If you miss the pop-up message, you can always find more details in Deco Pic Settings >> About Deco Pic >> Service Notifications. There, you can read more about the changes.
Deco Pic is an amazing fun tool that lets you add colorful stickers, decorations, and other creative effects to your photos. It’s been a popular feature for many Galaxy phone users as it makes photos and videos fun with live stickers.
Currently, you can access Deco Pic directly through the camera or AR Zone, but with One UI 7, this feature will be separated into its own app. This means that instead of opening it directly from the camera, users will need to download or update the app from the Galaxy Store to keep using it.
Aside from this, Samsung is likely to release the One UI 7 Beta update next week for Galaxy devices. The new change to Deco Pic might also be available in the upcoming Beta update.

Samsung accidentally leaked key One UI 7 design elements
Samsung leaked select One UI 7 design elements and app icons on Galaxy Book laptops. The company rolled out a new Galaxy Book Experience app update. The latest version replaced current app icons with newer ones from One UI 7.
Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program could launch early next week. Recently, the first Beta build has surfaced online on Samsung’s software server. The Public rollout is slated to start by late January or early February next year.
The Galaxy S24 series is first in line to receive the One UI 7 Beta update. The Beta could not be available globally as Samsung is slated to stick to traditional market availability; China, Germany, India, Poland, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
Key One UI 7 design elements leaked
The new Galaxy Book Experience app has revamped icons from One UI 7 for Samsung Phone, Samsung Notes, SmartThings, and Tips. The software hasn’t yet been released for Galaxy phones, but icons match with previously leaked icons.
Samsung has revamped many app icons such as Samsung Phone, Samsung Messages, Samsung Internet, My Files, Gallery, Calculator, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Contacts, Settings, Samsung Camera, Samsung Clock, and FM Radio.
The screenshots from Galaxy Book show new Notes and Tips app icons. A majority of Galaxy users want Samsung to change the Notes app’s design. The public build could reflect changes if enough voice is raised during the Beta Program.
At SDC24, Samsung announced a universal One UI software for various device segments. The company’s latest Smart TV models have recently got One UI design, with home appliances featuring a touchscreen set to follow soon.

Samsung One UI 7.0 Beta nears release, 1st Galaxy S24 Ultra firmware spotted
Samsung is all set to release the One UI 7.0 Beta for the Galaxy S24 series anytime. The first Beta firmware with a build version ending with ZXKB has been spotted on Samsung’s server, hinting at an imminent announcement.
One UI 7.0 Beta release has been delayed since the July-August period. Now, it seems the Beta Program isn’t far from kicking off for Samsung’s latest flagships. For the first time, a Beta build has been listed on Samsung’s software server.
Build version S928BXXU4ZXKB refers to Galaxy S24 Ultra (Global). This means countries like Germany, India, Poland, and the UK will soon be eligible for the Beta activity. There will be separate builds for the US, Korean, and Chinese variants.
Well, we still need to wait for the public One UI 7 Beta Program to commence. The first Beta build has surfaced today only, and there’s always room for finishing touches before seeding it to consumer units.
One UI 7 Beta could be released next week
Recently, a credible source revealed that Samsung could open the Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program after November 17. It’s expected that the Beta firmware will be available for download early next week.
In the first phase, the Beta Program can be accessible in the US and South Korea. The second phase could cover the remaining five countries. However, there could be some strategic changes in the Beta software’s distribution.
The new One UI version would bring revamped icons, separated quick settings and notification sections, new rounded user interface components, fluid animations and transitions, functional refinements, Galaxy AI upgrades, and so on.
A worldwide Beta Program will help Samsung better understand the needs and likings of Galaxy consumers. We always wish Samsung would open One UI Beta internationally. However, such changes are not likely to happen this year.
