Android 15 App Archive feature arrives on Samsung phones with One UI 7
Samsung One UI 7 is not only loaded with a range of new features but also improves the UX from personalization to animation as well as privacy and security. On the other hand, Google unveiled an app arching feature with Android 15, as you will be able to archive apps you aren’t using instead of uninstalling them. Thanks to the tipster Ice Universe, we have learned that Samsung is adopting the Android 15 App Arching feature with the One UI 7 update.
One UI 7 brings the Android 15 App Archiving feature
In a video on X (formerly Twitter), the leaker shared that One UI 7 Beta 1 has an Android 15 app arching feature. It lets you free up some space without forcing you to completely uninstall the app. It means that you won’t lose your data when you archive the app from your phone to free up space.
With this feature, the app will be archived in the cloud, and when you are ready to install it you save the hassle of setting it up again.
How to try out the One UI 7 (Android 15) App Archiving feature
The leaker noticed this feature on his Galaxy S24 series phone running One UI 7 beta. You can also try this feature on your latest Galaxy S series phone running One UI 7 by following the below-mentioned steps.
To do that, tap and long-press on the app that you want to archive in the cloud, here a pop-up window opens, and tap on the App info icon. Tap the Archive button at the bottom, and the app will be archived.
Once archived, you will notice that the app’s icon will appear dimmed with an archive mark indicating that it has been archived.
Restoring Archived Apps
Just tap on the dimmed app icon and a pop-up window will appear, and tap the Restore button here.
In addition to Android 15 App Archive features, One UI 7 brings big updates and features to the Home Screen, Lock Screen, stock apps, and Notification panel that give you a new look on your Galaxy devices. Large Folder delivers a new way to manage your phone’s home screen app properly and properly put them.
Today, with beta 4 Google expanded Android 16 Beta to select non-Pixel flagship devices from partner brands. Samsung, as always, is skipping the Android 16 Beta Program, while the new OS is available for select devices launched by Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, vivo, and Xiaomi.
Google released Android 16 beta 4 with a second version of platform stability and announced that apps compatible with the new OS will now be available on the Play Store.
Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, and Xiaomi have opened beta registration windows for their latest flagship devices launched in the last few months. Samsung, however, is yet to complete One UI 7 for its Galaxy devices, but will soon roll out the stable One UI 7 and launch an independent One UI beta program.
Last week, it was revealed that the company is already working on Android 16’s adaptation and testing the alleged One UI 8 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones.
Android continues to deliver great updates and new features throughout the year, while feedback from the beta community plays a vital role in constantly improving Android. The Android 16 developer site has a lot more information about the beta, including downloads and a release timeline for Pixel.

After the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung has today resumed the rollout of One UI 7 based on the Android 15 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE. It is worth noting that the Korean tech giant had halted the rollout a few days ago due to a serious bug discovered in the initial update, so it is now rolling out a new firmware that will fix this issue.
Samsung has started rolling out the new One UI 7 update for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE. Initially available in South Korea, the new One UI 7 build will go live in more markets soon. This build is a more refined build than the initial build and includes fixes for system improvements.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Fold 6 SE users can recognize it by the build number ending with BYD9.
Your Galaxy foldable device might have also received the new build. But you can check for the update manually in Settings > Software update. Click on Download and install so that your phone can receive the new OTA.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has now appeared on Geekbench, revealing that the company is carrying out pre-launch tests and preparations for its new device. The latest listing also solves the chipset mystery that has been in rumours for a long time.
According to the Geekbench 6.4 listing, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 US variant with model number SM-F966U achieved 3022 points on single-core and 9307 points on multi-core tests.
The US variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Also, the phone is expected to run on Android 16-based One UI 8 operating system
Being a flagship folding handset, all these things sound quite good. Nevertheless, the actual performance will only be known once the device is officially launched in the consumer market. Inputs reveal that the chipset is clocked at 3.53 GHz base frequency.
Apart from this, the Korean tech giant can launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 around July this year. Also, an affordable flip model can also be introduced along with both the devices.
