on


Samsung has introduced a new update for One UI Home, which brings some improvements to the application that will make it compatible with the upcoming One UI 6. If you don’t know about the One UI Home, then here is a quick introduction.

What is One UI Home?

Samsung One UI Home is the inbuilt launcher of the Galaxy device, which provides a clear interface for the home screen and also has some extra features that help users manage the application even on the app screen. It offers a simple screen layout, neatly arranged icons, and many more. To bring more improvement to the functionality, Samsung has pushed a new update.

One UI 6.0 and Android 14 update schedule for Galaxy devices

Samsung has rolled out a new update with version number 15.0.01.233. As per tradition, the company hasn’t brought any changelogs with the new update, which indicates that it will not get any new features or significant changes for the application. But it is expected that the latest update could bring some improvements that will fix the bugs and make the system more powerful.

One UI Home features

Due to the support of One UI Home, you will easily use full-screen gestures on the home screen on Galaxy devices. With the new development, it is also capable of hiding the navigation button at the bottom of the home screen and making it easy to quickly switch between apps. You can also lock the home screen so it will prevent accidental changes. These are some major things you can do on the home screen, but if you explore the settings, you will get more customization options so you can design the screen according to your taste.

Android Auto 12 Beta update Available to Download

The new version is beta 12, and as per ritual, Google has not published an official changelog with the new features introduced. It’s quite inconvenient for users not to easily get detailed information about the new features and improvements that arrived with the update. But you can get the latest Android Auto 12 Beta update here.

Possibly even with this version, the developers have limited themselves to fixing a few bugs that were present in the previous version and were creating a kind of inconvenience to users in their seamless experience and making some minor general improvements. 

A couple of days ago, Google delivered the Android Auto 11.9 stable update. Android Auto offers you dozens of facilities to make drivers’ driving experience more comfortable, as it lets you make calls using Google Assistant and answer incoming calls with just a tap, offers you updates on your route, ETA, and hazards in real-time, access your contacts folder and send and receive messages with the Google Assistant using SMS, Hangouts, and many more messaging apps, and so on.

Matter 1.3 Update Could Expand Samsung’s Smart Home Device Support

Published

By


The Matter is an open standard platform for smart home technology that lets the device connect with any matter-certified ecosystem using a single protocol, which provides a smooth experience while using the smart home devices. Now the platform has started grabbing new updates with v1.3, and with the latest update, it has started to support more smart home devices.

Metter 1.3 brings support for ten more devices with new features

The Matter platform partner company has announced the release of the Matter 1.3 update, which will provide support for several smart kitchen appliances, electric vehicle chargers, sensors, and valves. You can check out all the smart devices listed below:

  • Cooktops
  • Dryers
  • Electric vehicle chargers
  • Extractor Hoods
  • Freeze detectors
  • Microwave Ovens
  • Ovens
  • Leak Detectors
  • Rain Sensors
  • Water Valves

Along with the expansion of the device support list, the latter update for software updates also brings some new features like energy tracking, which lets users track the energy usage of the device throughout the day. Secondly, it has introduced scenes, which help users do several actions in batch form. For instance, you can create a scene in which room lights turn on when you close the door.

Additionally, now the TVs that support Matter can display notifications about the progress of other home-based devices. With this functionality, Matter Cast becomes a great alternative for other systems like AirPlay and Google Cast.

Samsung should quickly bring Matter’s new version to SmartThings

Samsung has adapted the Matter functionality with its SmartThings platform, but the company hasn’t focused on bringing innovations for the devices and hasn’t brought the Matter 1.2 support, and it looks like the company may take some more time to bring the functionality for the smart things. So for the latest 1.3 updates, it looks like Samsung Galaxy device users have to wait for a couple of months.

Google Messages Hides All Texts of Blocked Contacts

Published

By


Google Message works similarly to the stock Android messaging application until you use the RCS functionality, which allows users to send or receive messages instantly through the internet. With the RCS functionality, the application provides a similar experience to other instant messaging applications like WhatsApp. However, currently, it lacks some necessary features that provide more privacy to the user, so to make it more user-friendly, Google is working to enhance the block contact service.

According to the information, a new Google Message beta version arrived that carries a new feature that activates the functionality to block the contact and ban it from messaging in groups. For starters, currently, when you block anyone from your side, the messages of those contacts still appear in the group.

It is worth noticing that the feature is currently spotted in the beta version, which means it will take time to arrive at the stable version of the application. Generally, it takes more than a week to pass the testing phase, so it is expected that the company will make it available publicly in the next couple of weeks.

Google Messages is gradually moving forward to grab all the cool features that have already been available in the market on other platforms; however, the company has to face tough competition to grab the attention of the user, but with the leverage of control over the Android ecosystem, the search giant could take some innovative steps like integrating Gemini to beat the competition.
