One UI 5 also brings a simpler way to tailor notifications across applications to help stay focused on what is important. New controls make it easier for users to block notifications from certain apps, so they only see what is relevant to them.<\/p>\r\n

Enhanced Language and Sound Settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n

One UI 5 streamlines the process to change sound and vibration settings with reorganized menus that provide easy access to all ringtone volumes and vibration intensities. For the first time, Galaxy users can also tailor their preferred language for their different apps.2<\/sup>\u00a0Whether they\u2019re multi-lingual or just learning a new language, users can easily select which language will be used for each app in Settings.<\/p>\r\n

The update brings several other new features that create an even better Galaxy experience for everyone\u00a0\u2014\u00a0from enhanced camera capabilities and security resources to more accessibility tools.<\/p>\r\n

Users can more seamlessly capture high-quality photos and video with a new icon in Pro and Pro Video mode that offers useful tips and tricks on how to use the various lenses, features and controls. Plus, a more responsive zoom bar means quicker close-ups and makes it easier to zero in on the subject using only one hand.<\/p>\r\n

With One UI 5, a new dashboard lets users view the security status of their phone, shows whether there are security issues and recommends ways to fix them.<\/p>\r\n

The update also brings more accessibility options to make it easier for users to interact with their devices. The Magnifier feature enables users to better view and read on their devices, while different types of spoken assistance\u00a0\u2014\u00a0such as audio descriptions of videos and speak keyboard input aloud\u00a0\u2014\u00a0help users navigate and use devices more seamlessly.<\/p>\r\n
