One UI 7’s Always On Display gets a simple upgrade with Now Bar and sports features
Samsung recently rolled out a new update for its Always On Display (AOD) feature, version 8.8.25.5, for devices running One UI 7. This upgrade makes the AOD easier to use and adds some handy perks, especially for people who love sports.
The update spruces up how Google Sports info looks on the AOD. If you’re into sports, you’ll enjoy a simpler way to check on your favorite teams, game scores, and upcoming matches right from your lock screen. The new layout is neat and clear, letting you see what’s happening with just a quick peek.
On top of that, there’s now a Google Sports setup guide. This little helper walks you through picking your sports preferences for the AOD. It means you can get the latest sports updates without digging through tons of settings.
The update also tweaks the Now Bar by adding a notice message. This pops up if app notifications are switched off, giving you a friendly nudge or tip about your settings. It’s a small thing, but it helps you stay in the loop.
You can grab this update by heading to Galaxy Store, tapping the Menu button, and choosing Updates. If it’s ready for your phone, download it and check out the fresh AOD features. Just a heads-up—this works on Galaxy devices running One UI 7 with Android 15. With these changes, Samsung’s making it easier to stay updated on sports and notifications without much fuss. Give it a try and see how it fits into your day!
