There's a crucial settings change I make to the way notifications are shown in One UI 7, and it makes the software even better.
The first time I used a Samsung phone with One UI 7, I wondered if I’d stopped receiving notifications. I tend to glance over at the lock screen on my phone to see if anything is new, and after not seeing anything at all for some time, I had a feeling something wasn’t working. It was actually working fine, and my confusion was caused by Samsung changing a key default notification setting.
Recommended Videos By default, no further notification information is shown on the screen either. It actually took me a minute to work out what was different about the lock screen, but once I spotted the new icons in the corner, I set about trying to change the notification display on the lock screen back to something more useful. Thankfully, Samsung gives you a choice on how the lock screen appears, meaning its odd design decision isn’t fixed.
Related Best of all, these cards can be expanded to show more detail, and most include some level of interaction too. It’s surprising Samsung decided to make the least useful notification mode the default, but it’s great to see plenty of customization when you do figure out why the lock screen appears so bare when you first use the phone.
In no particular order, I make sure the always-on screen is set to Scheduled rather than the tap-to-show option selected by default. This is a good example of a useful feature hobbled out of the box, presumably to vaguely help extend battery life. I change the default browser from Samsung’s app to Chrome, and the Samsung keyboard to Google’s Gboard. These fit better with my general use across multiple devices. I always change the default Samsung ringtone and notification sound too.
