New Features in One UI 4

The One UI 4 user interface features simplified interactions and a clean and elegant design. Users get customization options in every
chance.
There are widgets that are redesigned and offer deeper customization, from visibility to appearance. We can even put important widgets on the Lock screen such as calendar or voice recorder. So that when needed it can be used directly without the need to open the lock screen.
2. Emojis
Samsung provides a more interesting and diverse range of emojis in one place, so users can easily configure options to enjoy a more exciting communication experience.
If one emoji is still lacking, users can also combine two emojis into one animation to really express the feeling of the moment. Express yourself with a wider variety of emoji, GIF, and sticker features available right from the keyboard.
3. Privacy
With One UI 4, Samsung brings the latest enhancements to privacy and security features. So users can choose whatever they want
shared or kept secret.
With One UI 4, it's easier to monitor and control privacy settings, such as providing alerts when apps try
access the camera or microphone.
There's a new privacy dashboard that puts all your settings and controls in one convenient place to monitor. So users can temporarily block camera and microphone access to all apps easily.
One UI 4 also takes advantage of an extension to Android 12's permission options, allowing users to see a history of things they've allowed in the last seven days, not just the last 24 hours.
User can also check the current data usage of allowed things and used apps.
4. Ecosystem
One UI 4 helps users make the most of a broad ecosystem that spans from Samsung's suite of devices to third-party apps, providing a more robust mobile experience.
Samsung's partnerships with other industry leaders, such as Google, ensure a seamless experience when using users' favorite third-party apps and services. And whether using the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Watch, or Galaxy Tab, users will get the same look and feel across devices, and can sync between devices seamlessly.
