You can utilize different modes to help you focus on your current tasks under the Modes tab, while the 2nd “Routines” tab allows you to add new routines or discover and manage existing routines.

Security and Privacy

Compared to the One UI 4.1, the One UI 5.0 update brings a major change to the security and privacy settings. With the latest upgrade, “Biometrics and security” and “Privacy” have been combined into one menu named “Security and privacy”.

In case you select an image from the Samsung Gallery app to use as wallpaper, you can also apply filters to the wallpaper by selecting the “Filter” option at the bottom of the screen.

Color Palette – Dynamic Theming

Basic Colors – Color Palette

The Samsung Android 13 update brings a new Basic colors tab in the Color Palette section of Wallpapers settings. You have to access the Color palette under “Wallpaper and style” to view these options.

Yes, One UI 5.0 customers can also copy text from videos saved in their Gallery and they don’t need to perform any additional steps for this. This will make it easy for customers to extract some quotes or anything important from the video and send it to someone or save it for themselves.

To extract text from a video on your Samsung phone, all you need to do is save a video in your Galaxy phone’s Gallery and start playing that video. Once you reach the part of the video you want to copy text from, tap on the “Quick crop” option at the lower left of your screen.

Now tap on the picture it captures and then tap the yellow “Extract text” icon (T). Simply select the text you want to extract and then copy it. Now you can paste this text to any messages, documents, files, notes, or wherever you want to paste it on your Samsung phone.

Meanwhile, if the video is not saved on your phone, or you a watching a show on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other platforms, you capture the screenshot of the part you want a text from and using the Extract text icon on the Gallery you can copy its text content.

For your information, Sharesheet is the menu that pops out from the bottom when you hit the Share button from an app or a website. It lists all the possible sharing options available on your phone and the ways you can share something.

One UI 5.0 Sharesheet:

One UI 5.0 sharesheet offers the basic function to share your pictures, files, documents, links, etc through different applications. At the same time, it also shows the names of people you usually chat with on different messaging apps, including third-party.

Meanwhile, if you share images or videos from Gallery, you also get the ability to select more files from the sharesheet itself. It saves your time and lets you share your files more quickly.

Android 13 Sharesheet:

Android 13 sharesheet menu that pops out when you tap the share button is not much different from One UI 5.0’s at a glance. It also offers you the ability to share your files, documents, pictures, videos, links, etc through different apps.

In addition, this also shows you some recommended people with whom you chat or share files mostly. Meanwhile, if the desired ones are not showing at the top, you can expand this list of apps or people by swiping the sharesheet up.

• Recommended: Android 14 will bring intuitive system share sheet, could combine with Play Services

Android 13 vs One UI 5.0 – Sharesheet

Since One UI 5.0 software is based on Android 13, Samsung has adopted almost the same sharesheet as Google. However, you can still see some minor differences due to their different interfaces. Both look great and show you recommended names and apps you share your files the most.

On the other hand, the One UI 5.0’s sharesheet is more advanced as it lets you select more items to share from the sheet itself, thus, providing you the ability to share files more quickly.

Notifications are an essential way to maintain at-a-glance insight into the people, messages, and app-related events that matter to them. But just getting notifications and reading them through the notification panel is not enough, we need some more advanced options to maintain our privacy and reduce clutter.

Let’s check out which smartphone brand offers the best Notification customization features – Samsung One UI 5.0 or Apple iOS 16.

One UI 5.0 Notification Customization

Samsung One UI 5.0 brings some notable tweaks to notifications. To begin with, the company has made app icons larger and more colorful in the Notification panel which helps you analyze at a glance which notifications came from which app.

Next, Samsung has brought an excellent feature to provide you with more control over your phone’s notifications, known as Notification permission. With this feature implementation in new software, when you use an app for the first time, it will ask you whether you want to receive notifications from it or not. You can say no to apps if you don’t want them to disturb you by sending worthless notifications.

Another great feature of One UI software is the Notification History which lets you see your cleared notifications so if you have accidentally cleared new notifications from the notification panel, you can still view them to stay aware of any new information.

Aside from these, you can choose which apps send alerts and which don’t, you can block app notifications, enable flash notifications, get notifications on bubble pop-ups, and select notification pop-up style, enable edge lighting, and much more. Meanwhile for privacy, you can also choose whether you want the notification content to show on the Lock screen or not.

iOS 16 Notification Customization

Apple has undoubtedly made its iOS 16 software a bit customizable for iPhone users. The company has also brought some changes to the Notification section. Firstly, iOS 16 has moved notifications to the bottom of the display to reduce clutter on the lock screen.

This move also makes room for the personalization features that you can now set up on your lock screen. Notifications on iPhones still work the same as they do earlier, one can simply swipe up to see them all, interact with them, and more. But there are also new ways to optimize what they do. Apple iOS 16 divides notifications into three different parts:

• Count: You see just a few words on your screen to tell you how many notifications you’ve got, and you have to swipe up to see them.
• Stacks: Notifications by the app are stacked on top of each other, and you can swipe to work through them.
• List: All your notifications in one list, just like they’ve always been.

You can also swipe down the notifications when in Stack or List view to instantly convert them to Count view. This is so handy if users just want to ignore notifications for a while but still want to check them.

One UI 5.0 vs iOS 16 – Notification Customization

I am not disagreeing that Apple’s work for the Notification section is not good. Actually, it’s great! But still, iOS 16 is far behind the customization capabilities of Samsung One UI 5.0 Notifications, and the company needs some more work so that it can walk next to Samsung.

The post One UI 5.0 vs iOS 16 – Which has best Notification customization features?  appeared first on Sammy Fans.

This is basically the feature of the Android 13 operating system known as ‘Per-app language‘. Samsung found this feature useful and thus implemented it in its latest One UI 5.0 software for Galaxy device owners as well.

Many times it happens that multilingual people like to use some apps in the default system language and other apps in their mother language. For example, social media apps in English and news providers, banking, and other applications in a different language.

It’s now possible to use different languages for individual apps on your Samsung smartphone driving Android 13-based One UI 5.0 software. The procedure of setting different app languages in Samsung is quite different due to differences in system navigation. Let’s check out how you can use your preferred language for different apps on your Galaxy phone or tablet.

How to set different languages for apps:

First of all, you need to go to ‘Settings’ on your phone. Scroll down and enter the ‘General management’ section. Now tap on ‘App languages’. Here, you will see the list of all your installed applications that support the feature. You can only set different languages for these apps.

Select your desired app or use the search tool to find your preferred application. Next, select the language you want to use from the list. The new language is now set and you can see the changes when opening the application.

Aren’t you excited to see if the most awaited iPhone AOD can compete with Samsung’s customizable Always on Display or not? Let’s check it out in this comparison story.

One UI 5.0 Always on Display

Samsung has been offering the Always On Display feature for years and over time, the company has significantly improved it. Obviously, this feature shows time, date, notifications, missed calls, battery level, and other essential information without unlocking your phone but there are much more.

At the same time, One UI offers users a variety of clocks styles and AOD designs, you can choose colors and wallpapers or can even select a picture from the gallery to put on your Always On Display screen.

Besides the basics, it also presents many widgets on the AOD screen by double-tapping the clock area, and can easily play music off-screen, or check schedules and alarms. Not only this, but you can also pin text and images that you want to remember every time.

In addition to all this, Samsung also offers its Galaxy devices to apply AOD in the landscape. You can select whether you want to see AOD while tapping or always. If that’s not enough, you can even schedule AOD on Samsung. And, if you want your AOD to show new notifications or the fingerprint icon, you can enable these options as well.

iOS 16 Always on Display

To be honest, I was pretty excited to see the Always On Display making its way to Apple iPhones. The US company has introduced a completely different AOD from the ‘traditional’ feature that we see on Samsung or other Android phones. It has an abundance of elements on the screen at all times.

The initial implementation on iOS 16 just dimmed out the display. It did not turn any pixels off, nor did it blacken out the background, which means you’ll still see parts of your wallpaper on the screen. But things have been changed with iOS 16.2 as it offers you the ability to disable the wallpaper portion, which will make the background black just like a usual AOD.

Other than this, the Always-On display on iPhones shows helpful information, including the time, widgets, and wallpaper, all while using new technologies that make the display incredibly power efficient. On the other hand, you can also disable Notification from the AOD.

It is worth mentioning that Apple AOD is not actually part of iOS 16 software, it is introduced with iPhone 14 series, and maybe it will expand to older devices in the future.

One UI 5.0 vs iOS 16 – Always on Display

Apple’s implementation of the Always on Display feature is admittedly creative, but it’s a classic example of choosing form over function, meaning it’s pretty but not particularly useful.

Samsung’s approach to AOD, on the other hand, makes so much more sense. After all, the main motive of Always on Display is to provide essential information at a glance.

If you are thinking that Apple has introduced AOD for the first time so the company will take some time to make it perfect. You may be right but let me tell you that even years ago Samsung’s AOD was better than the current Apple AOD.

So, Apple iOS 16 Always On Display cannot compete with Samsung One UI 5.0 Always On Display in any way, at least now.

How to set up One UI 5.0 Modes:

Samsung offers you a bunch of common modes that you can activate and edit with ease. These include Sleep, Driving, Exercise, Relax, and Work. However, you can create different modes according to the tasks you perform on daily basis.

Here, I am presenting you the driving mode which really fascinated me. With this mode, you can use your GPS while driving and limit interference from applications and notifications. To Activate the “Driving” mode, first head over to the “Settings” app on your Galaxy smartphone.

Visit the “Modes and Routines” menu. On the “Modes” section, tap on “Driving” and the “Start”. From here, you can connect the Bluetooth of your car to your smartphone by checking the option “Bluetooth device is connected”.

Now click on the “Next” button at the bottom of your screen and select your car’s Bluetooth. Hit the “Next” box again. Now enable “Do Not Disturb” mode. And if you want to mark exceptions to do not disturb mode while driving, you can allow “Calls and messages” but also “App notifications”.

Again, click the “Next” button. Now choose the settings to apply when starting the Driving View by ticking the option that suits you. Finally, tap “Done” to finish. Similarly, you can set up all other Modes on your smartphone.

Samsung One UI allows you to customize and style your home screen by changing the screen layout or adding widgets, folders, and other additional home screens. The company is now making things easier to do with some new tweaks and additional features introduced with One UI 5.0.

In this article, are comparing the older One UI 4.1 Home Screen with the new One UI 5.0 Home Screen to provide you a clear look at what exactly Samsung has brought for its Galaxy phones.

Join SammyFans on Telegram

One UI 4.1 Home Screen:

One UI 4.1 was feature-riched. It had lots of features for your home screen and its customization. When you tap and hold the home screen and you will find different options for Wallpaper and styles, Themes, Widgets, and Settings.

Samsung even allows you to use your home screen in landscape mode. It lets you view the screen comfortably by displaying your phone’s screen in horizontal orientation mode.

One UI 5.0 Home Screen:

Samsung introduced iOS-inspired widget stacking in One UI 4.1 and with One UI 5.0, the company has tweaked it for better usability. Thanks to “Stack Widgets”, now you don’t need to create multiple home screens on your Galaxy phone. You can combine multiple widgets of the same size and place them as one widget on the homescreen.

In addition, the new software also offers a “Smart suggestion widget” that knows your needs before you do. The widget shows apps to use, people to call, calendar events, and more based on your routine.

Aside from these, there is a “Select app” feature on the One UI 5.0 home screen. You might have faced the inconvenience of choosing a single app to create an app folder. The company has resolved your concern. You can now select various apps on the home screen (just like you select many pictures/videos in the gallery) and create a new folder in no time.

Not only create folders but you can also uninstall many apps at a time and remove or add those selected apps from/to the home screen.

One UI 5.0 vs One UI 4.1 – Samsung Home Screen

We can clearly see that Samsung has made the One UI 5.0 Home screen easy to use. This is the company’s other step to bring users a clearer screen so that they can easily navigate their phones. You can now do more activities on your home screen.

In this article, we are comparing the One UI 4.1 security and privacy features with the new One UI 5.0. Let’s check out what’s new the company has added for its users.

Join Sammy Fans on Telegram

One UI 4.1 Security and Privacy: 

Samsung One UI 4.1 has extremely robust privacy features. If you activate the privacy setting, you can see in real-time which apps are using the camera and microphone. Additionally, you can easily view the detailed usage log for the last 24 hours.

This software further has a “Permission Manager” function in the Privacy menu that allows you to manage access to permissions on an application-by-application basis. The same section also includes a clipboard access toggle. When turned on, you will receive alerts when the app accesses the contents of your phone clipboard.

One UI 5.0 Security and Privacy: 

There is no privacy without security and Samsung understands this. Therefore, the company has merged these two different settings menus – “Biometrics and security” and “Privacy” into one clear and easy-to-navigate dashboard known as “Security and Privacy“.

With One UI 5.0, Samsung is making it easier than ever for you to keep your device protected and your sensitive information private. You can get a quick overview of your device’s security and find suggestions and warnings depending on the status with one quick glance.

Next, the new-gen software presents a new notification on the share panel to ensure that your personal information remains private.
