Right after the One UI 7 beta expansion, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 owners have started testing the latest Android 15-based beta build in some selective regions. While the Now Bar’s Live Activities is the major factor of One UI 7, a report suggests that it’s now accessible in the 6th gen Galaxy foldables after installing the latest beta update.
Samsung introduced the Now Bar feature with One UI 7 (beta 1) on the Galaxy S24 series, which is placed in the form of a unique pill-shaped dynamic island, allowing users to have a look at some key information at a glance on AOD, the lock screen, and the home screen’s status bar.
Samsung adds Media Player Live Notification with the latest One UI 7 Beta for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6
According to SamMobile TV, right after installing the latest One UI 7 beta build on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, they uncovered that the Now Bar’s Live Activity was easily accessible on these devices.
Basically, the source had mentioned that the Media Playback Live Activity feature was actively running via the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6’s status bar on the home screen. However, it’s important to note that even the current flagship, the S25, which runs a stable Android 15-based One UI 7 version, doesn’t include this capability until now.
While the company efficiently integrated a few additional controls in Now Bar’s Live Activities, it might expand the feature to more Galaxy devices, other than being exclusive to the S24 and S25 series, out of the box.
Moreover, the Now Bar’s Live Activity being surfaced on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6’s status bar provides a slight hint that Samsung might be planning to expand Live Activities on more older Galaxy devices, but for now, official details remain awaited.
