Last Update date : May 08. 2024

Simplified labels

Simplifying app labels for Galaxy One UI 6 (Android Version 14) includes limiting app names to one line on Galaxy home screens by removing the words "Samsung" and "Galaxy" from the displayed names of apps. This change creates a cleaner, more organised appearance, which in turn helps users find their favourites more easily.

Note: The actual name of the app has not changed, only the way it appears on both the home screen and app screen.
