Samsung has started testing One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 users. With this update, we have brought many new features to the devices that are included in many existing applications, such as the lock screen, home screen, gallery, camera, and many more. Here we will explore the lock screen and how it has evolved with new updates.
Lock Screen revamped with One UI 7
In the last few years, Samsung has made significant changes to the lock screen with the new UI updates. It fully focused on bringing more customizations for the users so it can perfectly match the tastes of different users. Now with One UI 7, the company has brought several changes to the user interface of the lock screen.
Notifications
In detail, the lock screen has brought an additional customization option for the clock; now you will be able to personalize the clock with different colors and font styles and also be able to resize it. Now you can also change the location of notifications to the top left side, which is pretty good if you don’t want a messy lock screen setup and keep the widgets in the middle.
New Widgets and Shortcuts
In the new update, there are new widgets on the lock screen, such as the new Gallery widget that provides you a way to keep the different photos on your lock screen. The weather widget also brought a new moon phase option for the lock screen, which will track the actual phase (crescent, full, or new) of the moon. The Music widget is also redesigned with new effects and customization options. Apart from keeping your favorite widget, you can also now keep more varieties of application shortcuts on your lock screen.
More Customizations for Lock Screen Clock
Initially, Samsung has focused on bringing the customization option for the clock to decorate the lock screen; now, moving forward, the company has added more options to customize the clock, such as you can now change the style of the clock and apply more customized colors.
Suggestion
For more convenience in customizing the lock screen, One UI 7 also introduces a new suggestion option on the lock screen personalization menu, which will help you to easily choose different random designs for the lock screen. So you can easily take more ideas to personalize your lock screen in more unique ways.
Now Bar
The most highlighted thing of the One UI 7 base lock screen is the Now Bar, which provides a new way to track the live activities running on your phones, such as recording, music playing, timers, and many more. Apart from tracking live activity, the Now Bar can also show you more information, such as it can work as an interpreter, Maps, and Bixby on the lock screen. Overall, if we talk about the functionality, the navbar is one of the major developments on the lock screen from the latest One UI.
