Will Samsung think Mini Music Player for One UI 7 Now bar?
Ever since the One UI 7 beta 3 update was released for the Galaxy S24 series a few days ago, users have been sharing their feedback as well as suggestions to make the next update more effective. Recently, a beta tester proposed adding a mini music player to the One UI 7 home screen Now Bar to enhance user experience.
Meanwhile, on the request to add a Mini Music player to the One UI 7 Now bar, the company responded through a moderator note that it will make the operation of the music player convenient, thereby improving the user experience.
If the idea of a mini music player is added to the Now bar of the home screen in the One UI software, it will give users quick and direct access to the essential controls of their music playback such as play, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume without opening a dedicated app.
This will undoubtedly streamline multitasking and improve day-to-day usability.
Implementation Suggestions by user
- Design: A sleek and unobtrusive design, with basic controls (play/pause, skip, volume adjustment) and optional album art.
- Integration: Compatibility with Samsung Music, Spotify, and other popular streaming apps for a unified experience.
- Customisation: Allow users to toggle the feature on or off, ensuring flexibility for those who prefer a cleaner interface.
Now, we have to wait and see if Samsung will consider a mini music player for the One UI 7 Now Bar. Here is how Samsung has highlighted the potential benefits through feedback from community moderators:
