One UI 6.0 features and improvements
The One UI 6.0 update brings a fresh look to quick settings, lock screen, and notification panel. It also introduces previews for pictures and videos in the Share panel and a new video editing software called Studio. It improves multi-tasking with a pop-up window that stays open after leaving the Recents screen. Users can also expect smoother system animations, a new Camera app icon, more alignment choices for image watermarks, easier access to resolution settings, and easy-to-apply effects and filters.
Features
Enhanced security with Auto Blocker mode
An Auto Blocker mode in One UI 6.0 adds extra protection for Samsung devices by preventing unknown apps from being installed. This mode also blocks malicious commands sent via USB connections and checks for malware. The update includes new widgets, a new emoji style in the Samsung keyboard, drag-and-drop support between apps, an eye-catching weather widget with future forecasts, and storage-saving recommendations in the My Files app. The Calendar, Reminder, and Samsung Internet apps have been improved as well.
