One UI 7 bug makes Secure Folder content accessible to others

Samsung’s One UI 7 update has a serious issue that could put your private content at risk. The issue is with the Secure Folder, which keeps your personal files, apps, and photos safe and hidden. But a bug is causing some of that content to become visible outside the folder.
Notably, the Gallery app inside Secure Folder has a feature called “Auto create stories.” This feature collects your photos and creates short stories or slideshows. The issue is that these stories are showing up as notifications outside Secure Folder.
When someone taps the notification, they can see the photos, even though they’re supposed to be locked inside Secure Folder. This means your private photos might not be as private as you thought.

The Secure Folder issue has been spotted by SAMMobile on phones running stable One UI 7 like the Galaxy S24, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and possibly the Galaxy S25. Samsung has paused the One UI 7 update for now, but the company hasn’t said exactly why. This bug might be one of the reasons, in addition to the unlocking issue.
Until Samsung fixes the issue, you can protect your photos by turning off the story feature. For that, you need to open the Gallery app inside Secure Folder >> tap the Menu option >> go to Settings >> turn off the “Auto create stories” option.
Disabling the Auto-create stories feature will stop the app from making photo stories and sending notifications outside the folder. It’s important to check this setting now to keep your private photos safe. Stay tuned for information.

Some minor design flaws in One UI 7 that you can’t ignore

Samsung’s One UI 7 update has brought a fresh and modern design to Galaxy phones. Most people like the new look, but some small design issues on One UI 7 have caught users’ attention and are really hard to ignore once you see them.
On Reddit, users have started sharing screenshots of minor design bugs in One UI 7. One attention-grabbing post (via EnesGorkem on Reddit) shows the Do Not Disturb toggle, where the minus sign inside the button looks a bit off-center.
The minus sign is just a small shift and not perfectly aligned in the center, but once people noticed it, it started to bother them. “Is this just me, or is it not properly centered?” one user asked. The replies came quickly, with many saying they felt the same way.

Another post showed the battery percentage inside the battery icon. When the phone shows “100%,” the numbers don’t seem perfectly centered, they appear a little too far to the right. That small misalignment has annoyed many users. Some even joked about only charging their phone to 99% so they don’t have to see it.

Some think the issues are due to “optical alignment” or “pixel shifting,” but many users find these small design flaws annoying, especially since the rest of One UI 7 looks great.
These glitches don’t affect the phone’s performance, but once noticed, they’re hard to ignore. Samsung hasn’t commented about it yet, but a fix may be coming soon. Stay tuned.

One UI 7 bug causes duplicate status bar icons on Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung has recently released the April 2025 security patch to the Galaxy S25 series. After this update, some Galaxy S25 Ultra users have noticed a strange status bar bug on their phones’ One UI 7 software.
When receiving a phone call, the icons on the status bar, like battery, alarm, network, and more, show up twice. These duplicated icons appear both on the call screen and the home screen, making it look messy and confusing.
This bug doesn’t seem to affect every Galaxy S25 Ultra user, but a few people, including tipster @smasithick, have reported the issue. Right now, it’s not clear what is causing this glitch.
It’s also unknown whether the same bug is affecting other models in the Galaxy S25 series, like the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus. So far, only Galaxy S25 Ultra users have reported a bug, seeing the duplicated icons on the status bar.

Samsung hasn’t made any official statements about the issue, but since it’s not a major problem, it might be fixed in a future update. For now, users can try restarting their phones or changing themes to see if that helps, although these are not permanent solutions.
If you’re using a Galaxy S25 Ultra and have seen the same problem, let us know! You can share your experience in the comments on our social media handles.

One UI 7 lock screen blur on Galaxy S25 not working as intended

Samsung Galaxy S25 lock screen blur is not working as intended, despite the latest April 2025 software update. The lock screen blur engine is not consistent on the S25 series with the latest One UI 7 firmware version.
Tipster Alvin highlighted on X that the lock screen blur inconsistency remains yet to be addressed on the Galaxy S25 series running One UI 7. Notably, other devices with One UI 7 don’t have this weird visual-related glitch.
Samsung lock screen features two shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. Swiping left or right triggers the function linked to the service. While the transition is smooth, the visual effect is not consistent and needs to be fixed.
Swiping the shortcut just blurs up the entire lock screen on the Galaxy S25 models. The strength and transparency of the blur remain static. However, the transition and blur visuals are seamless and elegant on other models.

It is said that the blur glitch isn’t a new problem, but remains yet to be fixed even after installing the latest software update. The tipster has posted videos showcasing the blur inconsistency issue on the S25 Ultra, which you can watch here (X).
Lock screen is not the only function accused of being buggy on the Galaxy S25 series. Users previously reported blur engine flaws with the home screen widgets and large folders. Notably, Samsung has not yet acknowledged the issue.

Samsung confirms an update to fix home screen folder issue

Some Samsung Galaxy users have reported an issue when deleting apps from folders on their home screen. The issue happens when you try to delete all the apps inside a folder.
Most apps disappear, but the last app sometimes stays on the screen, even though it has been deleted. The icon only goes away after restarting the phone. This issue is more common for people who use Good Lock and the Home Up feature to customize their home screen layout.
A user reported that after selecting and deleting all the apps in a folder, the last app remained visible. It only disappeared after they restarted their phone. The last app icon should also be removed immediately, not after a reboot.
A Samsung community moderator has replied and confirmed that the company is aware of this folder issue. The team is already working on a fix for this bug. The moderator also explained that the issue happens when all apps in a folder are uninstalled at once.
Moreover, Samsung has also mentioned that this bug will be fixed through a future software update. However, the company couldn’t give an exact date for when the update will be available yet.
For now, if you experience this issue, you can restart your phone, and the remaining app icon should disappear. Samsung is working to fix this bug soon through an update. So, users can expect the issue to be resolved in the near future.

Upcoming Samsung AOD update will fix ClockFace bug on One UI 7

Samsung is getting ready to fix a bug that some users have noticed on One UI 7 running Galaxy phones. The issue is with the Always On Display (AOD) feature in One UI 7, where the clock appears in the wrong position when using some ClockFace styles.
The Always on Display issue mostly affects users of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 who have One UI 7.0 installed. ClockFace is one the Samsung’s Good Lock modules which lets users customize their phone’s look, including the clock on the AOD screen. After applying some styles, the clock appears misaligned on the display.
A Samsung community moderator has confirmed that an update is on the way. The new AOD app update will fix the issue where the clock appears shifted or out of place. The company expects to finish rolling out this update to all users by early next week.
Once the update is released, Samsung plans to re-enable the use of ClockFace on One UI 7.0 for Flip6 and Fold6 devices. This means users will once again be able to fully customize their AOD screen without any issues.
Samsung is working to make sure everything works smoothly again. If you’ve seen your AOD clock looking misaligned recently on your One UI 7 device, this upcoming update will solve the issue. Make sure your phone is updated so you can get the fix as soon as it becomes available.
