Samsung SmartThings September 2024 update

Google recently initiated the beta testing phase for Android 15, inviting testers to explore new functionalities. On the other side, Samsung is also preparing to release the Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 iteration with next-generation foldables. Meanwhile, the community moderator confirms that Samsung will bring a Vertical App Drawer with One UI 7, based on Android 15.

According to the community moderator, the Vertical App Drawer feature of the Samsung Home Up Good Lock module is currently in development for the next OS version, Android 15-based One UI 7. However, the moderator has not confirmed anything further about it.

The Vertical App Drawer feature will allow users to scroll vertically through their apps. This differs from horizontal scrolling, providing a more intuitive and organized way to access apps.

Previously, the same moderator had reported that the Vertical App Drawer would be part of One UI 6.1.1. However, it will now be introduced with the next OS and will be included in the Good Lock’s Home Up module.

Here’s why Samsung doesn’t support free widget resizing

Samsung widget resizing

Some Samsung Galaxy users have recently raised concerns about the pop-up windows for widgets on their devices. They want to resize the widgets to make them more suitable for one-handed operation, but they are unable to do so.

The main issue is that users want to resize these widgets more freely. Instead of being stuck with fixed sizes, they want to be able to adjust the size by dragging, which would make it much easier to use their devices comfortably.

Currently, most widgets only come in fixed sizes. Users mentioned that smaller widgets often look unattractive with too much empty space around them. This not only makes the screen look messy but also makes it harder to use the device with one hand.

However, a Samsung Community moderator has acknowledged the feedback. He has mentioned that while some apps allow for different widget sizes, most only support a limited selection of fixed sizes. This is due to avoiding widgets being cut off or not showing up properly.

Unfortunately, the option to freely resize all widgets isn’t available right now. This is made to keep the design clean and well-optimized. However, it can make using a device with one hand more difficult but you will surely get useful information on widgets instead of incomplete ones.

As more users express the need for better one-handed usability, Samsung is listing feedback to working on As more users request improved one-handed usability, Samsung is listening to feedback and working on optimizing widget sizes.

Allowing users to customize these sizes could make devices much easier to use, though it may also lead to some issues. However, Samsung is regularly working to provide a better experience that meets user needs. Users can expect more updates and changes related to widgets in the future.
