TL;DR
- Samsung’s One UI app for the Always-on Display has been updated with new animations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
- New animations will appear across the Now Bar on the lock screen and AOD whenever there’s a new goal or a red card.
- We bring you the first look at these animations, even before they’re spotted in the wild.
Lock screen and Always-on display on Galaxy smartphones received a major overhaul with One UI 8.5. The update brought dynamic, more colorful clock options that automatically adjust to and skirt around faces or objects in the lock screen wallpaper, which were previously only available through the LockStar Good Lock module.
Just a few months later, Samsung is bringing a new update for soccer fans. Samsung has rolled out a fresh update to the Always-on display (AOD) on Galaxy smartphones, bumping the app’s version to 8.9.36.23, with features to help users keep up with updates from the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026.
