One UI 7 Home Screen App Icons

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 series with One UI 7, which introduces exciting new features to the Samsung Messages app for a better messaging experience. The latest software update makes it easier and safer to send messages.

One UI 7 brings the ability to edit sent messages and automatically delete OTP (One-Time Password) authentication messages. These enhancements provide users with greater flexibility and security when using the Messages app.

Message Editing

Samsung Galaxy S25 introduces a new feature that lets you edit messages after you’ve sent them. If you made a mistake or want to add something, you don’t need to send a new message, you can edit the message.

For that, just press and hold the sent message, tap the Edit option, change the content, and tap the Send option again. The message will show that it’s been edited, and you can also see the edit history if you tap on the “edited” label.

The Edit feature of the Samsung Messages app only works on messages sent to other Galaxy phones with One UI 7, and you can edit a message up to three times within 15 minutes.

Automatic Deletion of OTP Messages

One UI 7 on Galaxy S25 series adds automatic deletion of OTP messages feature. These messages contain important codes for logging into apps or websites, and now you don’t have to worry about them sitting in your inbox for too long.

After 24 hours, OTP messages will be moved to the trash, and after 30 days, they will be permanently deleted. By default, this feature is turned off, but you can easily activate it for added security.

To turn on this feature, open the Messages app, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, go to Settings, then Additional Settings, and enable automatic deletion for OTP messages.

With these One UI 7  features, the Samsung Galaxy S25 makes messaging simpler and safer than ever before.

Stable One UI 7 lets you set custom FPS in Game Booster

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung introduced custom Game Booster FPS options with Stable One UI 7 update. The official version is exclusively available on the Galaxy S25 series. The software’s rollout has been delayed due to a possible rollout of the fourth Beta update.

Game Booster in One UI 7 now allows you to set your own FPS rate for gaming. You can tweak between 60Hz and 120Hz frame rate modes. Interestingly, the FPS options would support any games that don’t offer an option of their own to set the refresh rate.

Meanwhile, an incompatible app won’t offer any additional pleasing effect despite setting the 120Hz frame rate. You can access the FPS options within the Game Booster section inside the Game Launcher application on your Galaxy.

  • Gaming motion smoothness > Choose between 120Hz and 60Hz

Apart from 60Hz and 120Hz, you can further customize the FPS (20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, and 60Hz) for games individually. The “Customizations for individual games” option is available within the Game Booster functionality.

One UI 7 Rollout

Samsung started the One UI 7 Beta Program in early December. Since then, the company has rolled out three major Beta updates for the Galaxy S24 users. While we were awaiting the Stable update, it was revealed that the Beta 4 was about to release.

The One UI staff has identified a critical bug in the One UI 7 Beta 3. The screen appears more yellowish than intended while using the Color optimization feature in Natural mode. The problem has been addressed and a fix would roll out with Beta 4.

Samsung is continuously testing new One UI 6.1-based builds for the flagships. It seems the February 2025 security patch will be provided before the One UI 7 update. Time will tell as Samsung remains silent on the One UI 7 rollout roadmap.

Samsung One UI 7 Home Up app features

With the One UI 7, Samsung has integrated Home Up into One UI Home. Now, Galaxy users can effortlessly access the Home Up app’s epic customization features directly from the smartphone’s home screen settings.

It’s a move similar to the Expert RAW that was merged with the stock Camera app earlier. Samsung is making sure to streamline the UX in One UI. The latest change aligns with the company’s plans to elevate user experience.

Home Up in One UI 7 – Customization Revolution

Animation Tuning is a massive upgrade to the Home Up app. Samsung is offering a handful of presets, while you are free to personalize. At the bottom, you can also find recommendations so you don’t face any difficulties customizing animations.

Home Up’s integration in One UI Home is a big development in One UI 7. Samsung has brought plenty of new and powerful personalization tools to the Home Up plugin. It reduces the reliance on the Good Lock app to access Home Up tools.

To access the Home Up without Good Lock, simply tap and hold at an empty area on the home screen. Four options will be displayed and here you need to hit Settings, at the bottom, there’s a new option entitled More customizations.

It will take you to the Home Up’s personalization dashboard. The app’s One UI 7 version brings next-level customization features. You can tweak the home screen animations and even adjust the segments using the sliders offered.

Well, you can also access the Home Up inside the Good Lock app like before. The app has recently undergone a big revamp, altering the user interface to align with ease of access. New tools allow you to play with Edge Panel, Home Screen, and Recents.

One UI 7 unofficially lands on Samsung Galaxy S8: Should you try it?

Published

By

Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung released the One UI 7 update with the Galaxy S25 series, but surprisingly, users of the older Galaxy S8 can also experience its features, though not officially. While this update isn’t officially rolled out by Samsung, thanks to some developers, you can now enjoy some of the new One UI 7 features on the Galaxy S8.

For those unfamiliar with custom ROMs, it’s basically a modified version of Android that brings new features to old phones. Now, it is impressive to see an older Galaxy smartphone, launched in 2017, lets you experience the latest software.

With this custom ROM, the Galaxy S8 gets some One UI 7 features like Circle to Search, the Now Bar, and new Quick Settings. You also get some neat Galaxy AI features and a fresh charging animation that makes the phone feel much more modern.

However, there are some problems. The custom ROM comes with bugs, including a broken camera, flashlight, and Face Unlock. Other features like Smart View, DeX, and Wi-Fi also don’t work properly. The phone may randomly restart, and the battery drains quickly. Because of all these issues, this update is not recommended for everyday use.

Also, installing this custom ROM isn’t easy. If you’ve never done it before, it can be tricky. There’s a risk that if something goes wrong, your phone might not work anymore. It’s best to avoid installing it unless you know what you’re doing. If you’re not using the Galaxy S8 as your main phone, you can give it a try, but keep in mind it comes with risks.

So, should you try it? If you enjoy experimenting with your phone and not using it as your main phone, you can give it a try, but keep in mind it comes with risks. But if you still use your Galaxy S8 every day, it might be better to skip this update.
