Samsung’s new One UI 9 Home Up brings 5 improvements
Samsung is quietly polishing the Home Up app ahead of the stable One UI 9 rollout, and a fresh update has just been spotted in the wild.
The Home Up module, Samsung’s dedicated app for managing the Home Screen and app drawer experience, has moved from version 18.0.00.24 to 18.0.00.30, bringing a handful of practical improvements, via Kailash.
DIY Home Screen restoration gets fixed
Previously, users setting up a new phone or restoring a backup would sometimes run into configuration errors with their custom DIY Home Screen layouts; this update resolves that issue.
Smarter sorting and cleaner shortcuts
Samsung has also refined how DIY sort mode behaves, making it smoother to organize icons and widgets exactly how you want them.
A display error affecting the Integrated Panel app shortcut has been squashed, so that shortcut should now appear correctly instead of glitching out.
Favorites background gets finer control
Another notable tweak applies detailed leveling to the favorites background adjustment steps, giving users more granular control.
General bug fixes
Samsung has also included general bug fixes and user feedback, the kind of behind-the-scenes cleanup that keeps Home Up running reliably as One UI 9 continues its staged rollout to select Galaxy devices this August.
