ONE UI 7
One UI 7 improves App Continuity feature for Galaxy Z Fold 6
Samsung’s One UI 7 update is built on Android 15 and has been one of the most awaited software rollouts for Galaxy users this year. Promising smoother animations, smarter AI features, and a refreshed design, One UI 7 beta users can opt for a new app continuity behavior for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 called “Swipe to Continue”.
App Continuity allows users to choose what they want to happen to apps they’re using when they close their phone to the cover screen. In One UI 6.1.1, Galaxy Z Fold 6 users had an “All Apps” toggle through which they could turn app persistence on or off.
Now, Samsung has added new options for app continuity with One UI 7 beta, “Swipe to Continue”, which allows users to swipe up on the cover screen to continue using the app after turning the phone over. If you don’t swipe, the screen will lock after a few seconds.
In One UI 7 Beta, the App Continuity settings screen contains three options:
- Always
- Swipe to continue
- Never
The new App Continuity feature is now available with One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 in the US, Korea, and India. The UK will also join the beta testing phase.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 users in these regions can sign up for the program via the Samsung Members app and then download the first beta update from the phone’s Settings Software update menu.
So far, Samsung has delivered the One UI 7 firmware update to a few flagship Galaxy devices. However, network carriers in Canada now revealed the One UI 7/Android 15 update release date for the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphones.
Samsung One UI 7 is based on the Android 15 operating system, which brings notable changes to the usability and software appearance of the device. Samsung’s custom Android skin brings many new and useful features to your Galaxy as well as significant changes to the user interface.
According to Telus’ support page, the Android 15-based One UI 7 update will roll out to the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in Canada on or before April 22, 2025. As always, the new software will also feature a new security patch for improved device reliability.
