One UI 7 Beta 4 restores missing Now Bar options
Back in January, Samsung rolled out the third beta version of One UI 7, which unfortunately took away some handy Now Bar features. They promised these would come back, and with the release of One UI 7 Beta 4, that promise has been fulfilled.
Previously, options like Voice Recorder, Samsung Health, Google Maps, Samsung Notes, and Bixby were missing from the Now Bar. But good news – they’re back! Also, an update to the Google Maps app has added its real-time activity feature back to the Now Bar interface.
What’s New in One UI 7 Beta 4 for Now Bar

- Maps
- Samsung Health
- Voice Recorder
- Samsung Notes

You’ll also find options for the Media Player and Current Mode toggles, which help you control your device’s settings more intuitively.

They’re designed to make managing your apps and services more straightforward and enjoyable.
