Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch isn’t trying to reinvent one of my favorite smartwatches; it’s just making it easier to use. Currently in beta for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, the new platform streamlines the user experience with a handful of thoughtful interface upgrades, including a small but impactful change to the app drawer.
Anyone who takes full advantage of the Google Play Store knows a smartwatch app library can quickly turn into a crowded room. Endlessly scrolling past apps you rarely touch just to find the one you used an hour ago becomes frustrating quickly. Enter Samsung’s new Personalized apps screen. Instead of a static list, the app drawer now dynamically surfaces your most-used apps, keeping them front and center. It’s a subtle shift that could dramatically reduce the time spent hunting through icons.
