OneUI 7 adds improved continuity features for Galaxy devices

Samsung is rolling out its One UI 7 update soon, and it’s making things easier for people who use more than one Galaxy device. Samsung has been building an ecosystem that helps its phones, tablets, and laptops work better together. The new update improves these features further, adding small but handy tools like Camera continuity.

With Camera continuity, you can take a photo or scan a document on your Galaxy phone and then immediately continue working on it on another Galaxy device, like a Galaxy Book laptop. This can be helpful if you’re switching between your phone and laptop during work or study. The feature will work with Samsung apps like Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes. However, there are some requirements. Your devices need to be signed in to the same Samsung account, connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and close enough for Bluetooth to work.

Samsung already offers cross-device syncing in apps like Samsung Notes. You can manually add photos or documents to notes, and they’ll automatically sync between devices. Camera continuity builds on this, making the process a bit smoother by automatically connecting your phone and laptop. This could save time for users who often use both devices for tasks like editing documents or managing photos.

Another improvement in the One UI 7 update is a change to the feature previously known as Continue apps on other devices. Samsung has renamed it to “Continue on other devices” to better reflect its expanded functionality. Now, in addition to switching between apps like Samsung Internet and Notes, the feature also syncs your saved Wi-Fi networks across devices. This isn’t entirely new, as Samsung devices could already sync Wi-Fi through Samsung Cloud, but it’s now a more visible part of the system.

One UI 7 also suggests that more apps may eventually be included in this feature. Earlier versions of the software specifically mentioned only Samsung Internet and Notes. The updated settings page now mentions “other apps,” which could mean that more third-party apps will be supported in the future.

If you already use multiple Galaxy devices, the new features in One UI 7 might make your experience more convenient. While they aren’t revolutionary changes — something that we haven’t seen before — they’re part of Samsung’s effort to make its ecosystem a little more user-friendly with each update.
