Weโ€™ve refreshed the look and feel of One UI Core 3.1 in lots of ways, big and small, from new, more consistent icons to smarter organization of the quick panel and notifications. Motion is smoother and more natural than ever, with improved animations and haptic feedback for common interactions. And the interface responds to different screen sizes to provide the best experience on any device, whether itโ€™s a phone, foldable, or tablet.

Improved Performance

We optimized One UI Core 3.1 with enhanced dynamic memory allocation, so apps run faster and perform better. Weโ€™ve also restricted background activities to provide better performance and power usage.

Accessibility for everyone

One UI Core 3 recommends useful accessibility features for you based on your usage. The improved Accessibility shortcut makes accessibility features easier to start and use. You can use the Speak keyboard input aloud feature to get voice feedback of your typing even when TalkBack is turned off.

Stronger privacy protection

You can now let an app access to your microphone, camera, or location just one time. Any permissions that an app hasnโ€™t used in a while will be automatically revoked. You can no longer give apps permission to always see your location in the regular permission popup. To let apps access your location when theyโ€™re not in use, you need to go to the location permission page for the app in Settings.

Additional Improvements

  • Some apps will need to be updated separately after the One UI 3.1 update.
  • App copies made using Dual messenger can no longer access SD card files directly. To share SD card files in an app copy, select the files in Gallery or My Files, tap Share, then select the app copy.
