If you have invested in a new Samsung Galaxy S25 Phone, then you have access to the latest Samsung software features, gracked with an IU 7. This is Samsung’s point of view Android 15which will slowly make its way to older Galaxy handsets in the coming months, although there is no exact calendar.
A user interface 7 brings a new digital paint and a range of small improvements with it. But two new features are distinguished: now a bar and now brief. Built with a pinch of artificial intelligence (of course), these are the new features that you will first want to check if you want to make the most of your S25 galaxy.
Bar customization now
The bar now is Samsung’s response to live activities on the iPhone: these panels that appear and develop on the screen when you need to know the information in real time. Think of sports scores, or a Uber with a quick approach, or a timer for a recording you make, all that the persistent notification is useful.
Android has long supported the persistent notifications that stick to the top of the screen, but the bar now makes them more important, especially on the locking screen. Even if your Galaxy S25 is locked, you can follow the important updates of critical applications: perhaps navigation instructions in Google Maps, for example.
Developers must now build bar support in their applications, so you will not see each application appear immediately. Samsung has made sure that all of its own applications are now ready, including Samsung Health; You can see activity statistics constantly updated on the bar widget now while you train, all without having to unlock your phone.
In addition, the bar now is the new place for the audio locking audio widget, which was previously higher on the screen. If you listen to music, podcasts or audio books, you will see fast controls here. Any Modes or routines You have put on your phone to mutate notifications or make automation will also appear here.
