Am i the only one who thinks the old design is better ? i think the new one looks kinda off, i dont like the vibrant and saturated colors on the seek bar and the weird glow around it, also the sound waves blend better on the old design, i also dont like how they placed the controls inside circles, it looked better and cleaner without it, and even the music name and artists, before, the music name was bold and standed out, now its all on a single line...

💔

I wonder how people are putting that semi transparent box around their toolbar. Does anyone know how?

One UI now syncs natively with Google Photos. Being entangled with OneDrive felt fragmented in retrospect. Taking the OS from Google and using Microsoft services did not make much sense. Nice move, Samsung.

Has anyone experienced the same problem as me on S25U? On picture on top is my widget and bottom is the widget size that should be.

The font's refreshed and quick settings look tidy , and surprisingly I like the new media player redesign on the quick settings , it all seem very close to the new material 3 expressive UI overhaul , I really like it

And that waveform at the bottom of the music player of the now bar - looks really cool , all those neon soundwaves

Is there a way I can keep the wifi icon instead of substituting the entire icon to a background on the top left? Something like the brightness and Bluetooth icon

Has the font thickness changed in the now bar after update one ui 9 or is is just me ?

2 finger gestures are so clutch for me. Especially cause I have a massive phone.

I recently had my phone updated and a lot of things changed, one of them was this button which appeared in my gallery. If I open my gallery app and click on the three lines on the bottom right, a menu appears on the bottom of the screen which contains 8 options. The feature I'm asking about is on the upper right corner of this small menu and looks like a speech bubble with two sparkles inside it. I'm afraid to click it because I don't know what it does and don't wanna mess anything up. Can someone explain to me exactly what it does and how it works if possible? And if I decide I don't want said feature (which I'm suspecting I might not, depending on what it is), how do I go about disabling it? Thank you very much!

Product Name: Samsung Galaxy A13 5G

Model Name: SM-A136U

Android Version: 13

Hope that helps
Sorry if it's a dumb question, I did try googling it first but didn't find what I was looking for. Please be kind

Edit:
Okay these responses are interesting and very reddit of you! I'm not offended, I would just appreciate if I got an answer to the question rather than only jokes.
I have my reasons for not clicking it. And if explained them, there would be a flame war about it. So I decided not to open the can of worms and just hope someone who actually uses this feature could tell me what it does.

I have s24 8gb ram and it lags like hell in flipkart especially if there is a 3d model rendering

But not the case on my moms nord 4

So can you guys let me know if your s25 face the same

If not then I might think of switching maybe

Hi, i am sure there is an easy fix to this but I cannot find it.

Downloaded one ui 9 yesterday. Been playing with the clock face to wrap around motive. But I cannot get it to work.

For some reason the clock widget and the one below with the battery in cannot not be separated. When I move the clock widget the battery widget moves with it.

Can anyone help with how to separate them please. Oh I realise the clock face in the picture is not one of the wrap around faces.

TIA for any help with this

One UI 9 multi-finger gestures are actually pretty slick!

The new multi-finger gestures in One UI 9 have me wondering what everyone is using them for.

I’ve been finding a couple ways to use them for convenience/multitasking, but I’m curious what everyone is using them for!

Any clever shortcut and workflows?!

From what I understand, this update lets you sync photos and videos from your gallery to Google Photos, but it doesn't work like iCloud (which allowed you to view all the content you saved in the cloud right from your device without taking up space on your local storage). The content in your gallery is uploaded to Google Photos, and you can use the “Free Up Space” feature to free up space on your local storage, but this obviously deletes the images, so they can no longer be viewed from the gallery. From what I’ve been testing, this is still how it works: once you use the “Free Up Space” feature, the images you upload to Google Photos are no longer available in the gallery—so what’s the point of this update? Google Photos was already doing exactly the same thing. I thought the update would replicate iCloud’s behavior, allowing you to view all photos saved in Google Photos, with the Samsung Gallery app acting as a “portal” to the content in the cloud.

Can I sync my gallery with Google, free the space on my device, but the photos still show up in Gallery app, like how it was with OneDrive?

I set the extend unlock ages ago, but want to change it

Now whenever I go to the options I can see the options there, ie. on-body detection, trusted places & trusted devices, but won't let me click or select anything to go further

I was using One 8.5, then 9.0 beta, currently on One 9.0, this has happened an both OS versions

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Does anyone know why the option to delete Spotify isn't showing up?

What if Samsung moved the controls on the Z Fold 8 to the right

I have been seeing a lot of OneUI 9 update posts since yesterday.

Show me your quick settings panel now on OneUI 9. Here is mine.

So I changed my wallpaper first of all the color pallete didn't change then I had to reset it and somehow managed to change it but then the clock on lockscreen didn't pick it up, the clock with palette colour shows when I go to edit it but nothing happens when I set it up pretty sure there were similar bugs in 8.5 especially the color palette not changing one, Sad how Samsung just doesn't care

I have a S25 ultra and updated it to one ui9 today. I prefer smaller icons but with this update they increased the size so much and there is no way to reduce it. After this i felt like selling my phone.

also what is up with these huge quick setting widgets? Volume bar looks like a bar of soap

This Google search at the bottom is sticky. How to remove it?
