    Visual design
    We’ve refreshed the look and feel of One UI 3.1 in lots of ways, big and small, from new, more consistent icons to smarter organization of the quick panel and notifications. Motion is smoother and more natural than ever, with improved animations and haptic feedback for common interactions. And the interface responds to different screen sizes to provide the best experience on any device, whether it’s a phone, foldable, or tablet.

    • Turn off the screen by double tapping on an empty space on the Home or Lock screen. (Set it up in Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures.)
    • On the Lock screen, tap the clock area to see widgets like calendar, weather, and music.

    Calls and chats
    • See conversations separately in the notification panel. Works with Messages and your favorite chat apps.
    • Easily remove duplicate contacts stored in the same account in Contacts. The storage period for deleted contacts has been extended from 15 days to 30 days.
    • Added the ability to edit multiple linked contacts from a single screen.

    • Find pictures and videos quicker with new search features and categories in Gallery.
    • Revert edited pictures to their original versions at any time, even after they’re saved, so you never lose a shot.

    Settings
    • Settings has a new simpler look and feel. Your Samsung account is shown at the top, and Home screen settings are now easier to access.
    • Find the settings you need more easily with new Search features. You’ll get better results for synonyms and common misspellings, and you can tap on tags to see groups of related settings.
