Samsung has just rolled out a new update for its virtual assistant, Bixby, with the new version 3.7.12.18. The new update brings a useful enhancement to the user experience.

The fresh update adds a new “Say your command” option, which appears when you long-press the Bixby app icon. This means that when you now long press the Bixby app icon, a menu appears with three options.

These three options are:

• Bixby settings
• Type a command
• Say your command

The new option is the “Say a command” feature lets you speak directly to Bixby without fully opening the app. It’s a quicker way to ask Bixby to do something. Just press and hold the Bixby icon, then tap “Say a command” and speak. The new option has been spotted by a reliable tipster @Theordysm.

This update makes Bixby easier and faster to use. You don’t have to go through many steps to give a command. Whether you prefer talking or typing, the new options give you more control and flexibility.

Samsung Bixby 3.7.12.18 update is a minor but useful update that improves the overall experience. You can download the update through Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates.

If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, Flip6, or Tab S10, you might have noticed that the new One UI 7 Home Up module from Good Lock isn’t available yet.

Originally scheduled for early April, the Home Up module is yet to be rolled out for Galaxy Z Flip6, Z Fold6, and Tab S10 series running One UI 7. The good news? Samsung is close to releasing Home Up for these devices, expected in early next month.

One UI 7’s Home Up is popular for its DIY home screen options and personalized user experience. Until now, Home Up has been limited to the S series, but the demand for Home Up has grown as One UI 7 is now available on various devices.

Samsung’s team has been working to adapt Home Up for foldables and tablets.

For foldables like the Z Fold6 and Flip6, a feature called “Cover Screen Mirroring” is in development to customize the cover display. Tablets like the Tab S10 need support for both landscape and portrait modes, adding complexity.

Samsung initially aimed to release Home Up for foldables and tablets by early April 2025.

However, the current project reveals that it’s still under renewal, with a message saying it “will return soon.” The updated timeline points to early May 2025, as Samsung finalizes the module for One UI 7 compatibility.

With the new Home Up, you will be able to customize home screen layouts, tweak gestures, and use Cover Screen Mirroring on foldables. For tablets, expect a seamless experience in both orientations, enhancing multitasking and personalization.

Samsung Internet is testing a huge UI overhaul, probably for the One UI 8 upgrade. The most feature-packed browser app is preparing a brand new design, which could finally convince you to ditch Google’s Chrome browser.

As part of One UI 8, Samsung seems to be tweaking the interface of its native browser app. The new design aligns with previous leaks that elements are adopting a blur design and dynamic colors to make the look pleasing from elegant.

Chrome by Google is the most used web browser app on Android. It gets a significant push as it comes pre-installed with Android devices, however, Samsung Internet could become a pretty big rival to harm Chrome’s dominance.

The home screen integrates a wallpaper as background, which you will be able to change as well. The URL bar is now placed above the quick access toggles, featuring a blurry yet transparent component, which also applies to the Menu.

Expanding the Menu from a webpage nicely displays the blur engine in action. It’s kind of the same we’ve seen earlier in the wallpaper selection UI. The toggles have got visibility improvement, and the blurred overlay takes the visibility to a whole new level.

While the One UI 7 rollout has just begun, Samsung is already working on the next big upgrade. Pushed by Google, the Android 16-based One UI 8 is expected to debut with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 in early July this year.

One UI 8 Beta Program might launch earlier than One UI 7’s December timeframe. That said, we can expect the Stable update for older Galaxy devices later this year. The Galaxy S26 series is rumored to launch with One UI 8.5 version.
