Samsung Makes One UI 6.1 and Good Lock 2024 Available Early
Samsung just told us about Good Lock 6.0, a big update for their app. They said what’s going to be different and what it can do when it comes out with Android 14 and One UI 6.0. But Samsung didn’t stop there. They also talked about what’s new in Good Lock in 2024 and with One UI 6.1. This news has brought excitement among Samsung users, who were eagerly waiting for the new features and improvements.
Good Lock 2024 will come with One UI 6.1 update
Good Lock is a powerful customization app that allows users to personalize their Samsung devices. It offers a wide range of features, including customizing the lock screen, notification panel, and recent apps menu. One of the big news stories is that in Good Lock 2024, you’ll be able to change how the Game Booster works on Samsung phones and tablets. Game Booster is a feature that makes your games better by improving performance and saving battery, plus it stops notifications from bothering you while you play.
Samsung has revealed some of the changes that are coming to Good Lock in 2024, when One UI 6.1 is released which will come with Galaxy S24 series out of the box. The changes are that LockStar and ClockFace customization options will be directly accessible from within the Settings app, rather than being separate apps. This will make it easier for users to customize their lock screens and clock faces.
One UI 6.0 will be the big software update for Galaxy devices
Another change is that the Kids Cafe module will allow users to map keyboard gestures and designate keyboard touch sounds. This will give users more control over how their children use their devices.
In addition to these changes, Samsung is also planning to add new features and modules to Good Lock in 2024. However, the company has not yet revealed any specific details.
In 2024, we hope that Good Lock will be available in more countries. Samsung started offering it in a few places this year, but we, along with other Samsung fans, will only be truly happy when Good Lock can be used everywhere Samsung sells its phones and tablets.
Google’s developers are releasing an update for its Android Auto app with great constancy. After providing stable version 11.8, there is a new beta ready to test.
Google released Android Auto 11.9 Beta Update
This new Android Auto 11.9 beta build landed online a few hours ago, allowing users to test its features before the public rollout begins.
The latest Android Auto 11.9 beta is ready to download for all users who have registered for it. However, the update rarely brings significant changes from the previous updates. The mMountainvViewgiant didn’t offer the changelogs for the Android Auto updates, so the only way to find out what’s new in version 11.9 is to install it on your device and look for changes.
In the previous Android Auto 11.8 update, the redesigned Settings menu began rolling out to users. Installing Android Auto 11.9 beta doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the new Settings interface today, but it is required once Google enables the server-side update on your device.
Keep in mind that Android Auto 11.9 is still in the beta stage. As a result, you may encounter bugs and issues after installing it. As a result, you might experience crashes or other issues while using this beta version.
Google’s Gemini AI adds a new convenient and awaited functionality to the Gmail app for Android: the ability to summarize emails.
The previous reports have already revealed that the Gmail app for Android devices is going to have the ability to summarize emails using Google’s Gemini AI. Now, recent reports are revealing that this feature is close to launch.
A colleague Android Authority contributor and reliable cose sleuth Assemble Debug managed to activate the feature on version 2024.04.21.626860299 of the Gmail app. Google has not yet widely rolled out the feature, but we expect it to happen soon.
Expectations are that Google will formally announce the feature at the upcoming I/O 2024 event, along with many other announcements about the upcoming iteration, including the launch of the Pixel 8a.
Once the brand officially rolls out this feature, you will see a “Summarize this email” button under the subject line of their emails. If you hit the button, it will generate a quick summary of the email. This feature should be especially convenient for lengthy emails with lots of text and other details.
You will also have the power to rate the quality of the summary by tapping the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons under the summarized text. Probably, this will help Google improve Gemini’s summarizing capabilities. It will also offer a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.
Recently, Samsung has introduced several updates to its application to provide new experiences to its users. For instance, it has provided a new update for QuickShare connectivity and several Good Lock modules. Now, the company has started rolling out the update for the voice recorder.
Samsugn has rolled out a new update for the Voice Recorder application, which comes with version number 21.5.12.02. According to the changelog, the latest update for voice recorders is coming, which will improve the functionality of various functionalities. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t shared details about it. However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
