Samsung officially launched the One UI 7 beta program a few weeks ago. The presence of this beta version also marks a new era of One UI with deeper integration with AI.
Well, one of the important elements of One UI 7 is the Now Bar. This feature is said to make it easier for users to access various functions.
“With New Now, users can control entertainment, set exercise times, get directions to a meeting place, or start communicating in a foreign language,” wrote Samsung, quoted from its press release, Thursday (19/12/20240).
It is said that this feature will redefine personalization for users. Because, it integrates daily activities and the most frequently used applications on the lock screen in the latest One UI.
“Now Bar also provides access to the most comprehensive experience on the Galaxy. Now, smartphones not only provide notifications, but also support the user’s lifestyle,” wrote the South Korean company.
Samsung also provides an example of implementing the Now Bar in daily activities. For example, when a user plans to travel by plane, the smartphone will suggest creating a folder of important applications for faster access.
Apart from that, to avoid missing your flight, this application will tell users when to go to the airport. This application will also provide curated playlists to accompany users throughout their journey.
Not only that, with one swipe, users can also access weather forecasts through this feature. So, Samsung cellphone users don’t need to search for or check weather predictions from various applications.
This feature will recall precious moments during the trip. Based on the illustration provided, the Now Bar feature in One UI 7 will appear at the bottom of the lock screen, although it is possible that there will be changes.
