Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 This story is part of our Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 coverage Updated less than 31 minutes ago Samsung ’s Now Bar is a particularly useful feature that lets you see notifications, your currently playing music, and much more right from your lock screen — and now it’s getting Google Maps integration ahead of the One UI 7 rollout. This feature is already available for the Galaxy S25 series but hasn’t yet come to the Galaxy S24 or earlier generations.
Recommended Videos You can think of the Now Bar like Apple’s Dynamic Island feature. It serves essentially the same purpose, but it lives at the bottom of the lock screen instead of at the top. Google said the feature will be present in One UI 7 from release, and that it would come shortly after the Galaxy S25 launch. However, Samsung has yet to provide a concrete date to look for.
