Samsung One UI 7 Beta Update Skips Two Major Features

Samsung One UI 7 Beta: Features and Missing Elements

Samsung One UI 7 Beta Update has been the talk of town among several mobile phone forums and communities.

This update is still a Beta version, which means that Samsung users can have a first hand experience before officially being released globally.

One UI 7 Beta Release

• Samsung has released the One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 series in select regions, featuring numerous impressive features and enhancements.

Missing Features: App Lock and Dark Mode Icons

• Despite these two unexpected features, such as App Lock and Dark Mode Icons, it does not offer them.

• It was previously speculated that Samsung would enhance security by introducing a convenient feature known as App Lock with the latest Android 15-based One UI 7, however, this has not been the case as the beta version of One UI 7 did not include this feature.

• One UI 7.0 Misses the Mark with No App Lock or Dark Mode Icons

Alternative to App Lock: Secure Folder

• Samsung, instead of providing a dedicated app locking feature, offers the Secure Folder feature to secure applications, photos, videos, and other files in a separate, encrypted space.

This feature significantly reduces the time required to store applications compared to App Lock.

Absence of Dark Mode Icons

• In addition to the dedicated App Lock feature, One UI 7 also lacks Dark Mode icons.

Dark Mode Icon in One UI 7 Beta

• It has been reported that Samsung could adopt the Dark Mode icon in One UI 7 beta, similar to the approach taken by Apple in iOS 18, which optimizes for a seamless user experience.
