At present, smartphone users are on a spree of having random notifications come out. Some notifications just clutter the system through unwanted interruptions, making it difficult on the part of users. Nevertheless, this is being solved through a One UI 8.5 update traveling into the hands of Samsung. Some Apple-inspired features will be introduced in the final version of this update, allowing for more precision and control from the users' side to experience notifications.
Samsung's One UI 8.5 Features and Apple Inspiration
One UI 8.5 will be like Apple in that users will be able to customize and manipulate their notification settings just as iOS users can manipulate their system notifications. This will allow users to customize their notification settings much more easily.
1. Silent Mode Improvements:
One UI will allow more improvements to the Silent Mode almost similar to that of Apple. This will enable the user to reject or mute notifications based on time and situation. For instance, if you are at work or sleeping, the notifications will be automatically silenced.
2. Grouping:
Notifications would be bundled with the iOS counterpart provisions under One UI 8.5. This means One UI would group notifications coming from a single application, unlike iOS, which forwards the notifications to the Notification Center, with all the apps acting as an aggregation that just notifies how many new notifications from which app have arrived.
3. Notification Context:
Samsung might as well implement some sort of context-based notification system in the new One UI 8.5. Simply put, the notification would pop up from the app, and with such a notification, an app would provide extra information about the context of it, which would be useful to a user.
4. Control for App Permissions:
Just like iOS, One UI 8.5 would also grant some more control over app notifications. The user can set which app notifications will go through, which will be excluded, and which app's notification is most important.
Why is it important?
All those users use smartphones and now share one common problem: there are going to be too many or oftentimes random notifications coming out. Some of these can be really pointless ads, and some might be games or social media notifications, but all of this distracts the user. The new features in One UI 8.5 will afford Samsung device owners much easier and efficient management of notifications, even improving their overall experience with the mobile device.
Conclusion
With an MCP development found in One UI 8.5 similar to that of Apple, it might bring a general perturbation within the unique panorama of user experience. It is just that simple; the user experience improves in conjunction with the end of notifications. Now we wait to see when these features will be introduced by Samsung!
