With its Game-changing One UI 7 update, Samsung optimizes the working of apps on the flexible cover displays of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Flip 6. The update extends the usability of the outer screen, allowing users to do more without unfolding the device.

Bigger Screen, Bigger Possibilities

Samsung's Z Flip series has always conquered in this small-sized foldable body, but the cover display had never been given a chance to expand its functionality. With One UI 7, Samsung is expanding all of that more app support, improved responsivity, and multitasking on the outer screen.

Users can now run more apps directly on the 3.4-inch cover display of the Flip 5 and the slightly larger panel on the Flip 6, allowing them to reply to messages, browse social media, watch videos, and even navigate Google Maps without every flipping it open.

What’s New for the Cover Display?

One UI 7 update comes with several major improvements to insure convenience with everyday tasks in the Flip series and lessen the need to unfold the device.

1.Several App Compatibility

Previously, only a handful of Samsung apps worked natively on the cover display. With One UI 7, though, third-party apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and Google Maps are optimized for the smaller screen, allowing for a smoother and more intuitive experience.

2.Better Multitasking

An important upgrade is the improvement in multitasking on the outer screen. Switching between apps has been made much easier, allowing them to be resized for a more customized look. This is quite helpful in terms of quick replies, notifications glancing, or volume controlling without needing to open the phone.

3.Customizable Widgets and Shortcuts

Samsung has included even more interactive widgets and personalization options on the cover display, so now users can further personalize their experience by easily adding direct shortcuts to frequently used apps, controlling smart home devices, and accessing fitness tracking features.

4.Improved Camera Control

The Z Flip series has always been most popular for hands-free photography, and One UI 7 improves the camera interface on the cover screen. With this, advanced camera controls, faster mode switches, and real-time previews while snapping selfies can be accessed by users without opening the phone.

How to Get the One UI 7 Update

Samsung is slowly releasing the One UI 7 update, with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Flip 6 among the first foldable devices. Users can check for the update by going to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install.
