The Galaxy S25 comes with Google Messages preinstalled, but if you want to use Samsung Messages, you can download it from the Galaxy Store and recent reports suggest that it supports Rich Communication Services (RCS). In addition to this, One UI 7 brings 2 hidden features to Samsung Messages on the Galaxy S25 series.

One UI 7 brings two new features to Samsung Messages

With One UI 7, the Galaxy S25 series gets two new features in the Samsung Messages app for an improved messaging experience: Message Editing and Automatic Deletion of OTP Messages.

Message Editing

Samsung has introduced a new feature in the Samsung Messages app called Edit Message. With this feature, you can edit any message up to 15 minutes after sending it and it will be updated for everyone in the chat. The edited message will have “Edited” written next to the timestamp.

To edit a message, long-press the message you want to edit, then choose Edit and update your message. When you’re finished, tap the check mark to update your message.

Apart from this, the Edit feature of the Samsung Messages app only works on messages sent to other Galaxy phones with One UI 7.

Automatic Deletion of OTP Messages

Automatic Deletion of OTP Messages is another Samsung Messages app feature that is debuting with One UI 7 and Galaxy S25. When this feature is turned on, OTP messages move to the trash after 24 hours, and after 30 days, they are permanently deleted. By default, this security feature is turned off, but you can easily activate it for added security.

To turn on this feature, below are the steps:

Open the Messages app
Tap the three dots in the top-right corner
Go to Settings,
Then Select the Additional Setting and toggle on Auto delete of OTP messages.

The two new messaging features in Samsung Messages are currently limited to the Galaxy S25 series with One UI 7. Once One UI 7 reaches more Galaxy phones, these display options will become available to more gamers.

Now that Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25, the first phone to run on One UI 7.0, all stock apps are being updated with the new design language. The Galaxy S25 series is available on Samsung.com and retail stores from February 7 and all stock apps can be used with the latest design.

Samsung One UI 8 is set to come to Galaxy devices with a new design and animations. Meanwhile, a report says that One UI 8 is set to bring widget support to the Samsung Phone app for personalization.

On online forums, some rumors claim that Samsung is set to launch Android 7-based One UI 7 along with the next-generation foldable phones, Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 16, in July. The Korean tech giant is expected to release the One UI 7 beta program for the Galaxy S25 series and some more eligible flagships soon. Samsung is also planning to launch the Galaxy S26 series with One UI 8.5.

The latest update includes a widget for Samsung phones, as spotted by a reliable tipster. The widget has been modified to make it more functional and user-friendly to make it easier to search and find what you need.

The One UI 8 Samsung Phone app widget adjusts to your preferred light or dark display settings. The header mentioned “Recents” and the subsequent section shows the three most recent calls, that too with the respective types like outgoing, incoming, and missed through icons.

Also, the Recent Calls widget default layout includes two options within the widgets section, including 2×2 and 4×2. As per the report, you can stack the widgets, but there is no customisation section right now.
