- Wider support for Now Nudge
- My FanCam automatic video cropping based on a selected subject
- More quick panel customization (quick settings)

Improved now

There are also several new types of suggestions, like entering booking details or addresses and saving places in Google Maps.
Focus on someone important
- My FanCam lets you select a person in a video and automatically follow them while cropping the rest of the video.
The interpreter keeps your conversation in front of you

Productivity and multitasking
More customizable quick panel

Privacy, security and device protection
Warranty and maintenance
- The new Warranty & Service menu in Settings allows you to check your warranty information and access diagnostic checks and useful information to keep your Galaxy in tip-top condition.
Lock your phone quickly
- Now it’s easier to quickly and securely lock your phone. Simply press and hold the volume down and side buttons at the same time or press the power button in the quick panel. This prevents biometrics from being used the next time you unlock your phone.
Transparency of location access
- Stay on top of your location privacy. A blue indicator will appear at the top of the screen when an app accesses your location. Tap the indicator in the quick panel to see which app it is.
Enhanced security and privacy
- Alerts will appear in your Now brief to inform you of risks related to malware, apps from unknown sources, unnecessary permissions, and other issues that could put your security and privacy at risk. Applications identified as malicious or vulnerable will not be able to open until you decide whether or not to remove them.
AI Privacy Alerts
- Get help protecting your personal data. The AI will monitor how apps use permissions and notify you of any unnecessary access to your personal data.
