Samsung Messages app gets a fresh look with One UI 7
Samsung has pushed a new update for the Samsung Messages app, which supports One UI 7. Identified via version 16.0.00.131, the new app update is available only for the Galaxy S24 series phones that are running the Android 15-based One UI 7. The update is around 41.87MB in size and brings several new features and improvements for users.
With One UI 7, Samsung has given the Samsung Messages app a fresh look, including a redesigned icon. While it’s quite similar to the previous one, the chat bubble now has a more rectangular shape with rounded corners.
This new version aims to give users a smoother and more enjoyable experience when sending and receiving messages. The app is now better optimized to work with the new features in Android 15 and One UI 7, which make it more efficient and easier to use.
This update is currently only available to those testing the One UI 7 Beta on the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung plans to make v16 of the Samsung Messages app available to other Galaxy devices once the One UI 7 update is fully released in the future.
If you are using a Galaxy S24 and are part of the One UI 7 Beta program, you can enjoy the latest version of Samsung Messages. For those not part of the Beta, the APK file for version 16 is available on APKMirror, though it’s important to be cautious when installing apps from third-party sites.
With this update, Samsung is improving the overall messaging experience on its Galaxy devices. The company continues to work on enhancing its software, and users of the Galaxy S24 series are among the first to enjoy and test new features before the stable update.
