Samsung to resolve One UI 6.1 alignment issue with July 2024 update
Users of One UI 6.1-based Samsung devices are regularly reporting an issue in which the date and time display format is not aligned correctly. This issue is particularly noticed with Korean or Chinese characters. The Korean tech giant has confirmed to fix this issue in the next update.
Some reports via Galaxy users have highlighted the strange date and time alignment issue, which was partially resolved by switching from the default font to the Samsung One font or any other font. However, this has not fully resolved the issue for everyone as several Galaxy device models including the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are affected by this issue.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a fix is underway. A community moderator has stated that the fix for the alignment issue will be released with the next One UI 6.1 update.
It means that the upcoming July 2024 update is expected to include a patch specifically to fix this One UI 6.1 alignment error. Users are advised to install the update promptly when it becomes available to ensure the issue is resolved.
Recently, a Good Lock moderator mentioned that the clock format alignment issue is related to the QuickStar app and aims to address it in the upcoming One UI 7.0 update.

Even if you’ve missed the 60-day timeline, you can still insure your Galaxy with Samusng Care Plus. It’s a paid subscription offered by Samsung that saves you big in case of out-of-warranty repairs due to accidental damages.

Samsung Care Plus subscription is good for devices like the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. It isn’t exclusive to flagship models, you can even ensure budget phones such as the Galaxy A25 and Galaxy A15.
