With One UI 8, Samsung has changed the default behavior for this Plus button. Now, when you have an alarm group pulled up and you tap this button, you'll get on-screen options to either create a new alarm or shift something you already created into the group you're looking at.

One UI 7 restricted Android 15's predictive back gesture to Google apps, but One UI 8 is fixing the problem with expanded support for Samsung apps.

Samsung has officially launched its One UI 8 beta program, and you can sign up to be among the first to test it out -- if you have a compatible device.

Samsung's One UI 8 beta program is now open for users on Galaxy S25 devices. The new beta brings Android 16 to Samsung devices for the first time, along with improvements to Samsung features like the Now Bar and Secure Folder.

The One UI 8 beta also features some major improvements to the Secure folder, including a much-needed Kill Switch. The folder will also behave more like Android’s Private Space features, meaning you can store apps in the folder without a copy being kept on the rest of your phone.

Android 16 QPR1 introduced a massive design language change called Material 3 Expressive. This adjustment affects the base set of assets Google makes available to developers. That affects how Quick Settings tiles are designed, lock screen elements, and so much more. In essence, that shift has altereted the entire look of Android, for the better.

One UI 8 offers an extra size for home screen widgets on Galaxy devices, allowing them to look even than what they used to.

The Samsung Reminder app in One UI 8 has a completely redesigned homepage and some much-needed functionality improvements.
