One UI 8 Watch beta brings a smarter app layout

Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 8 Watch beta for Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra users in the US. This update introduces a fresh way to organize apps on your smartwatch, making it easier to find what you need.

The highlight of the update is the new Personalized Apps screen. It automatically places your most-used apps at the top of the app drawer, so you can access them quickly without scrolling. This feature learns from your habits, ensuring the apps you rely on are always front and center.

Additionally, you can now switch to a List view instead of the usual grid of icons. This view shows app names alongside their icons, making navigation simpler and more straightforward, especially on smaller screens. The beta program, available to enrolled users, offers a sneak peek at these changes.

The update is rolling out gradually, so it may take time to reach all eligible devices. Samsung’s goal is to make the watch experience more intuitive and tailored to each user’s needs. This update shows Samsung’s focus on improving how you interact with your Galaxy Watch.

By prioritizing frequently used apps and offering a clearer layout, One UI 8 Watch aims to save you time and make your smartwatch feel more personal. If you’re part of the beta program, you can try these features now and see how they fit into your daily routine.
