However, the biggest change in Android 12 is the new system-wide dark mode, which is available as a toggle on Samsung phones. It’s not yet clear if it will be available for all apps, but it does work with Google apps such as Gmail.
Samsung has added a new “Lock Down” feature that can disable fingerprint and iris scanning temporarily, along with other features like the camera or contacts. You can also choose to require a password or PIN code to access certain apps, including ones like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media apps.
The One UI 4.0 update also includes support for Google’s Digital Wellbeing initiative — you can check out our Digital Wellbeing review here — to help keep track of your screen time usage and app notifications. There are also new gesture controls that let you swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go home or open recent apps using Edge panels.
