Samsung’s recently released flagship device S24, which came with the One UI 6.1 preinstalled, has received all the innovations, like the Galaxy AI feature, which has increased the potential of the devices. However, we have also noticed one more thing: it has removed some options from the AOD menu and added Wallpaper-Matching feature.

One UI 6.1 Always on Display Features

The One UI 6.1 update now applies the same changes to older Galaxy smartphones. Earlier, Samsung started rolling out the update for the Galaxy S23 Series, Z Fold 5, and Flip 5.

The Always-on Display (AOD) now matches your wallpaper, creating a personalized lock screen experience. However, this update comes with a trade-off. Samsung removed the ability to manually adjust AOD brightness and lock its orientation in portrait mode. This lack of fine-tuning might disappoint some users accustomed to these features.

Along with this, the update has also removed the clock style option, which provides the ability to customize the clock style; however, you can still do that by going to the clockface Good Lock module.

If you wish to set the AOD screen brightness at any level, you will need to adjust the main system brightness. Ultimately, you will no longer be able to set the AOD brightness independently. The main purpose behind this change seems to be to make features easy to use.

The One UI 6.1 is a significant update that has brought several useful features for Galaxy devices. It is not only limited to the AI features, as it has also brought some customization options for several existing applications, including new wallpaper editing features, widgets for your lock screen, stickers to personalize calendars, reminder alerts, and many more.

One UI 6.1 Removes Screen Orientation from Always on Display

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 update brings a new twist to the Always-on Display (AOD) on Galaxy phones. While it lets you match the AOD to your wallpaper for a cohesive look, a surprising change is the removal of the screen orientation option. This means the AOD will stay locked in portrait mode, regardless of how you hold your phone.
