Samsung is reportedly working on introducing a new way to check the time on Galaxy devices, according to a tipster on a social media platform. It is said to allow users to check the time even when the device's screen is off. The feature will be activated by a simple gesture. It is speculated that this feature may be offered in the Good Lock app rather than natively integrated into the device's operating system.
New way to check time on Galaxy phones
In an X post, tipster Tarun Vats shared details about this feature that Samsung is rumored to be developing. It was detected in the Register module of the Good Lock application. The app currently allows Samsung users to customize their lock screens and the overall user interface of the device.
According to the claims, an update is currently being developed for the RegiStar module that may allow users to check the time on their devices with a simple gesture that requires a double tap on the back, even when the screen is off. The whistleblower claims that it may be known as “Check time with tap back”.
The feature is said to be in development right now. It is also speculated that it may arrive with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 with One UI 6.1.1, which are reported to be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July. However, other devices may get it later with One UI 7, which could be Samsung's Android 15 update.
An update to UI 6.1.1
Samsung is also reported to be rolling out the One UI 6.1.1 update for its smartphones. In particular, it can bring significant camera improvements to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Ultra, which debuted in January, is reported to have issues with shutter lag, motion blur, and poor zoom quality.
According to tipster Ice Universe, the update may “include many camera updates.” However, it is said to still be in its early stages and will undergo testing for a considerable time before being released to the public.
