Update your phone’s apps after installing One UI 7.0

Samsung has started a global One UI 7.0 rollout and device owners are downloading this update as soon as it shows up, but there’s an essential practice of downloading apps update that you should perform after completing the installation.
One UI 7.0 is based on Android 15, bringing new features and capabilities that are much better than the previous software version. Moreover, the system has redesigned apps that look practical and improve visibility.
An Android update introduces new APIs, deprecates previous ones, and makes modifications to the existing ones. Developers must update their apps to align with the latest changes to ensure a smooth and functional user experience. Moreover, latest app updates could install the new features for better user experience.
A new OS update incorporates the security patches and better data protection, which also improves user data stored within the app. Furthermore, an app update has fixes for bugs and compatibility issues for a seamless user interaction.
The majority of the pending updates may belong to Google apps, system services and Samsung’s pre-installed apps. You can check them via Google Play Store and Samsung’s Galaxy Store.
Prior to downloading app updates, ensure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi. In most of the cases, the phone starts an automatic update, but you should verify the app updates with the following instructions.
Google Play
- Open Play Store
- Tap on the profile
- Select Manage apps and services
- Select Updates available and select download.
This will start all the pending downloads on your device.

Play Store and Galaxy Store app updates
Galaxy Store
- Open Galaxy Store
- Go to Menu (bottom bar)
- Select Updates
- Tap Update all.
This will start download for all pending app updates.
This is how you can update all apps after downloading One UI 7.0.

Samsung to launch One UI 8 based on Android 16 in July 2025

Samsung may introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 in early July 2025 at an Unpacked event in New York, USA. Since these foldables are likely to boot Android 16, the new One UI 8 version would also launch alongside.
By launching One UI 8 with its foldables, Samsung could bring Android 16 to users before Google’s Pixel 10 series, expected in August 2025. However, Google’s faster Android release cycle is influencing Samsung’s plans.
While specific One UI 8 features aren’t yet revealed, Android 16 may improve desktop mode support, enhance health features, and add anti-theft tools. In recent firmware leaks, we’ve seen redesigned apps and minor UI tweaks.
Android 16 is expected to launch in June 2025, earlier than the typical fall schedule, and Samsung aims to align One UI 8 closely with this timeline.
One UI 8 is already in early testing. A leaked Geekbench listing showed a Galaxy Z Flip 6 running Android 16, and test firmware was spotted on Samsung’s servers for the Galaxy S25 series.
The Galaxy S25 series, launched in January 2025 with One UI 7, may receive One UI 8 shortly after the foldables. Samsung’s shift to an earlier One UI 8 release shows its response to user feedback and Google’s accelerated schedule.
Beyond that, this could mean faster updates for older devices, like the Galaxy S24 and S23 series. Galaxy fans are hopeful this signals a smoother rollout for One UI 8 across Galaxy devices, with Beta could backtrack to the August timeframe.
For now, Samsung hasn’t shared official details about One UI 8 or the foldables’ launch.

One UI 7 makes your phone vibrate when brightness hits 100%

If your Samsung phone vibrates randomly after the One UI 7 update, don’t worry, it’s not a bug. There’s actually a simple reason for it, and it’s all about the brightness. One UI 7 is the latest software for Samsung Galaxy phones, which brings some cool new features, including better animations and extra haptic feedback. Haptic feedback is the small vibration you feel when you interact with your phone.
In One UI 7, one of the new features is that your phone will vibrate when you adjust the brightness slider all the way to 100%.
This makes sense when you manually move the brightness slider to the maximum. You get a little vibration as a sign that you’ve reached the highest setting.
However, there’s something interesting happening when you let the phone adjust brightness automatically. This means you have set your phone on auto-brightness, and then it alerts you about it.

Samsung One UI 7.0
If you’re in a bright environment, like outside in the sun or near a window, your phone’s auto-brightness will increase the screen brightness to 100%. And when that happens, your phone will give you that same small vibration, even if you didn’t touch the slider.
At first, this can feel a bit strange, like your phone is vibrating for no reason. You might be holding it and suddenly feel a tap in your palm, but it’s just the phone reacting to the sunlight or bright light.
So, next time your phone vibrates unexpectedly, remember it’s just the auto-brightness feature working. It’s not a bug or a glitch of your phone, just Samsung’s new way of letting you know your screen brightness is at its highest level on One UI 7 devices.

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.
