One UI 8 Watch

Samsung has started rolling out the One UI 8 Watch beta update for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra in the United States and South Korea. This update, based on Wear OS 6, brings exciting new health-focused features to help users stay fit and healthy.

The update includes tools like Bedtime Guidance, which suggests the best time to sleep based on your daily routine, and Vascular Load, which tracks stress on your heart during sleep. There’s also a Running Coach that offers personalized tips and real-time advice to improve your runs, but it’s only available on the Galaxy Watch 7 and newer models.

Another feature, the Antioxidant Index, measures healthy aging markers using the watch’s sensors, though it’s exclusive to the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Only select Galaxy Watch models, starting from the Galaxy Watch 5 series, can join the beta program.

Sadly, the Galaxy Watch 4 series won’t get this update. If you’re in the U.S. or South Korea and own a compatible watch, you can sign up through the Samsung Members app, but spots are limited.

The beta program lets users try these features early, with a stable version expected to launch with the Galaxy Watch 8 series in July 2025. Older compatible watches will get the stable update later, likely in late July or August. This update shows Samsung’s focus on improving health tracking for its smartwatch users.

Samsung brings back swipe-back preview in One UI 8 Beta 3

One UI 8

Samsung has released the One UI 8 Beta 3 update for the Galaxy S25 series, reintroducing the popular “Back Swipe Preview” feature. This tool makes navigation easier by showing a quick glimpse of the previous screen when you swipe back.

The feature was briefly removed in One UI 8 Beta 2 but is now back with improvements, showing Samsung’s effort to listen to user feedback and refine the experience. The Back Swipe Preview builds on Android 15’s back gesture system. When you swipe from the screen’s edge, you see a preview of the earlier screen before finishing the gesture.

This helps you avoid accidentally leaving apps and makes navigation smoother. Samsung also added a stylish glow effect, replacing the plain arrow from One UI 7, giving it a fresh look.
To turn on this feature, go to Settings > Advanced Features > Labs and switch it on. Right now, it works mainly with Samsung’s built-in apps and some Google apps, but more apps might support it later.

The update also fixes issues like faster loading for Modes and Routines menus, better swipe-to-type on the keyboard, and smoother S Pen input. These changes make the phone feel more polished and user-friendly.
