However, in this article, we’ll be talking about different ways to customize the colors and themes of the Samsung One UI 4.1 Keyboard. In case you need some tips on how to customize the whole Samsung Keyboard, head here.
Change Samsung keyboard colors
- Using Dark Mode
The dark mode is the simplest way to change your Samsung phone’s default keyboard colors. When you turn on dark mode, the black theme automatically applies to different areas of your phone including the quick settings panel, settings page, phones, messages, and come other applications, and so is the case with Samsung Keyboard.
Enabling dark mode is easy and simple, you can do it in a few steps.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Display.
- Tap Dark mode.
Alternatively, you can perform the same through the Quick panel by just tapping the button.
- Using Samsung Keyboard themes
The built-in Samsung Keybaord provides four different themes that you can use to change the color of your keyboard. These themes include – Light, Solid light, Dark, and Solid dark.
Well, we prefer you not to use Solid colors as they hide the keys’ border and don’t look so good. Anyway, to change colors using Samsung’s built-in keyboard:
- Open Settings on your Samsung phone.
- Go to General Management.
- Tap Samsung keyboard settings.
- Tap Themes.
- Choose one between four themes.
Instead, you can tap the Settings icon >> Themes while using the Samsung Keyboard.
- Using High Contrast Color
If you don’t like these simple light and dark colors, you can also choose high-contrast colors for your keyboard. To do this:
- Open Samsung keyboard settings.
- Tap on High contrast keyboard.
- Enable the toggle to turn on the feature.
- Choose the required high-contrast color theme from the available options.
- Using Galaxy Themes
You can also change your keyboard’s color by applying a theme on your phone. Your Samsung phone supports themes natively, so you don’t have to rely on any third-party app.
It should be noted that the applied theme will change the colors of your entire phone and not just the keyboard. If you are ok with it, you can try out this method. Here’s how:
- From a Home screen, tap and hold an empty area.
- Tap Themes.
- To view all your themes, tap Menu (the three horizontal lines).
- Tap My stuff.
- Click Themes.
- Select your desired theme, view the details, and then tap Apply.
- If needed, tap Apply one more time to confirm.
If you don’t have any theme download, you can download as well as purchase new themes from the Galaxy Themes app.
- Using One UI 4.1 Color Palette
One UI 4 introduced Dynamic theming for Galaxy devices. When enabled, it picks up the dominant color palette from user-applied wallpapers and applies them as accent colors on the Galaxy phone’s user interface.
To use it:
- Open Settings on your phone.
- Go to Wallpaper and style.
- Tap on Color palette.
- Enable the toggle next to Apply palette to app icons.
- Choose a color scheme from the options available under the Color palette section above the toggle.
- If you don’t like the available colors, you can change the wallpaper to see a different set of colors.
- Using Good Lock Keys Cafe
One of the best ways to customize your Keyboard is Good Lock’s Key Cafe. You can even create your own keyboard with different designs, themes, characters, emojis, etc. You can also add custom animation effects and color effects to the keyboard. Here’s how to Keys Cafe.

Samsung Galaxy phones come with a Secure Folder feature for enhanced data protection. It works as a dedicated compartment in your Galaxy smartphone where you can store different kinds of files (photos, videos) and installed applications.
The Knox technology provides layers of security and privacy, not only to protect users but also to give them a choice in what they want to secure. For those who want to keep their most personal information separate and safe, there’s Secure Folder.
Photos, videos, and files stored in Secure Folder won’t be accessible in regular apps. If you need them, you have to access the Secure Folder – authentication required. It takes the security and user privacy to a whole new level and the data is secured by Samsung on-device.
Secure Folder can keep your most private data such as calendar schedules and contact info, as well as notes, photos, videos, files, and even apps. You can even encrypt the Secure Folder to keep your apps and data even more locked down until the next time you open the folder.
You can find Secure Folder in your apps.
The first time you open it, you’ll have to set your lock type to either a PIN, pattern, or password, with fingerprint authentication can be enabled as well. Anything you create within the Secure Folder will be automatically stored here, but you can also move data here at any time.
For instance, if you want to keep a copy of your driver’s license, you can take a photo of it using the Camera app within Secure Folder, or you can pick a photo in your Gallery, tap the options menu (the three dots) and then select ‘Move to Secure Folder.’

Samsung Galaxy S24 series introduced several new features and enhancements with the One UI 6.1, one of which is Intelligent Optimization. This feature is designed to give users specific control over the image processing levels directly from the camera settings.
The Intelligent Optimization feature allows users to adjust how their photos are processed. Whether capturing everyday moments or professional shots, the Intelligent Optimization feature in One UI 6.1 ensures that your photos meet your standards with minimal effort.
How to activate it?
You can easily enable the Intelligent Optimization feature by following the steps below.

- Choose the desired optimization level
- Maximum
- Medium: Speed up capture time by doing less optimization
- Minimum: Take pictures as fast as possible by not optimizing pictures after they are taken.

This feature allows for customization of photo attributes such as sharpness, contrast, and brightness. For example, selecting the minimum level results in more natural-looking images, while the maximum level increases detail and sharpness, which is ideal for zoomed-in shots.
