    Color palette

    Customize your tablet with unique colors based on your wallpaper. Your colors will be applied to menus, buttons, backgrounds, and apps throughout your tablet.

    Privacy

    One UI 4 offers strong privacy protection to make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

    Permission info at a glance
    See when each app accesses sensitive permissions such as Location, Camera, or Microphone in Permission usage. You can deny permissions for any apps you don’t feel comfortable with.

    Camera and microphone indicators
    Keep prying eyes and ears away. A green dot will appear in the upper right corner of the screen when any app is using the camera or microphone. You can also use quick panel controls to temporarily block all apps from using the camera or microphone.

    Approximate location
    Keep your exact location private. You can set apps that don't need to know exactly where you are to only have access your general area.

    Clipboard protection
    Keep your passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information safe. You can choose to receive an alert whenever an app accesses content copied to the clipboard in another app.

    Samsung Keyboard

    More than just typing, Samsung Keyboard is all about expressing yourself and having fun.

    Quick access to GIFs, emojis, and stickers
    Self-expression is a tap away. Get to your emojis, GIFs, and stickers directly from the keyboard with a single button.

    Lens and zoom
    Lens icons show the magnification level, so you know how much you’re zoomed in.

    Video that never misses a moment
    Recording starts immediately after you tap the Record button, instead of when you release it, so that you catch those precious moments before they’re gone. In Photo mode, you can touch and hold the Shutter button to start recording a quick video, then drag your finger to the Lock icon to continue recording without holding down the Shutter.

    Keep your single takes going
