Samsung has rolled out a new update for the Samsung Enhance X application. With the latest update, the company will add some stability to the functions available under the application and improve the user experience.
Samsung Enhance X is getting a new update with the version number 2.0.89. With the latest update, the company doesn’t attach an official changelog, making it difficult to identify what new changes are coming with the update.

Generally, when a company doesn’t publish a new changelog for the application, it indicates that the update may not bring any significant changes for the application. Therefore, the latest update for Samsung Enhance X is expected to receive some internal changes that could enhance the overall stability of the application.
If you are having any issues while using any feature of the application, then it is recommended that you keep the application up-to-date. To take advantage of the new update, you can check for it via the Galaxy Store. To go directly to the page, click here. However, if there is no update available on your device, you can also sideload the latest version of the application from external sources.
For starters, the Enhance X app is a one-stop AI solution that allows you to do easy edits that enhance the media with a single tap. For instance, you can remove unwanted blur reflections and, at the same time, use features to sharpen, improve the dynamic range, and brighten photos captured in low lighting conditions. Meanwhile, for the video content, it allows the use of single-take, long exposures.
The Samsung Camera app comes with all the necessary features that allow users to capture good photos and shoot elegant videos via their Galaxy devices. To make it more effective, the company frequently brings new updates to the stock camera application.
Samsung Camera update
Samsung has rolled out a new update for the stock camera application, which comes with the firmware version number 11.0.02.95. The latest update does not introduce any new changelog, instead reiterating the previous one that addressed the issue of photos breaking when repeatedly shooting after applying a filter. But it is expected that the company will surely provide some improvements to the functioning of the application.
How to install
The Samsung Camera application update is now live for Galaxy devices, which are running on Android 14. If you are also using any of the Galaxy devices with One UI 6.0 or One UI 6.1 installed, then you can install the latest update via the Galaxy store, but in case the update is not reached for your device, you can also sideload the application via external sources.
Samsung provides more options for better photography
For premium devices that are equipped with high-end camera hardware, there are some more camera-related apps and functions available in the form of Expert RAW and Camera Assistant. With these applications, users will be able to use the smartphone camera more professionally.
YouTube is rolling out a new jump-ahead AI-powered feature for its users. Under this functionality, users will be able to skip the video by double-tapping to the most-viewed part of the video.
Previously, when you double-tapped on the video in the right half of the screen, it forwarded the video to 10 seconds. Now, to make this function more useful, YouTube has used AI, which is able to analyze the most-viewed part of the video and redirect users directly.
According to the information, the new facility will be limitedly available to users who have joined the premium memberships. It is worth noticing that YouTube has had this functionality for a long time. A few days ago, when the company had previewed this capability, it suggested a small experiment.
As this is currently in the initial stage, the functionality is only available for US users and those working on the English videos. According to the information, the jump-ahead feature is available for users who join the premium membership before June 1. However, after passing the experiment phase, it may be available for every user.
A couple of months ago, YouTube brought the Picture in Picture (PiP) feature for free to users. Initially, it was limited to US users, but it is expected to be available to other countries’ users. To get the latest functionality, users should always keep the YouTube update.
