what's up YouTube jeff back from Sammy
0:01
Guru here and today another very
0:03
exciting Samsung video for you guys
0:05
today I'm going to talk about how to
0:07
remove the now bar or at least stop it
0:10
from showing up in 1 UI7 now I love the
0:13
now bar but from reading my comments
0:15
there's a lot of you guys who don't like
0:17
it i went over this in my longer video
0:19
on 1 UI7 problems but I keep seeing this
0:23
comment so much that I felt like it
0:24
warranted its own video so people could
0:26
find it in search results and hopefully
0:28
help out more people now the first thing
0:31
I want to mention too is that the now
0:33
bar is not the same as the now brief
0:35
these are two different things which
0:36
I'll get into more in just a second
0:38
before we get into that today I want to
0:40

will have the Galaxy S26 series for the
1:31
mystery box program up very very soon
1:34
for those of you guys who are waiting to
1:35
sign up for that very early okay so
1:37
let's go ahead and talk about how to
1:38
remove the now bar so the now brief
1:41
first of all if you want to turn off the
1:42
now brief and the now brief is this guy
1:44
right here which does show up on the now
1:46
bar on occasion at certain times a day i
1:49
personally find the now brief to be very
1:51
useful if not reaching its maximum
1:53
potential it could definitely do more
1:54
and I think Samsung will do more with it
1:56
as time goes on but removing the now
1:58
brief or turning that off is is easy go
2:00
to the Galaxy I section and this is only
2:02
on the S25 series scroll down to now
2:04
brief and you can basically go and just
2:07
remove all of this content right here
2:09
from the now brief remove the widget
2:11
from your home screen and you won't have
2:13
to see the now brief anymore just toggle
2:15
all of these off i mean I like them so
2:17
I'm keeping them on but if you toggle
2:19
all of them off then basically nothing
2:21
will show up on the now brief you can
2:23
also go here and turn this option off as
2:27
well and that means you won't be able to
2:29
see the full now brief without unlocking
2:31
your phone you can turn that on or off
2:33
directly from the Galaxy Eye settings
2:35
now now brief is not the now bar it just
2:38
appears on the now bar on occasion so if
2:40
you want to get rid of that then of
2:42
course you're going to have to do a
2:43
little more work go into the lock screen
2:45
and AODD and then what you're going to
2:48
want to do is under the lock screen and
2:50
AODD you're going to want to go here to
2:53
now bar and when you go to now first
2:57
turn off the now brief from the now bar
2:59
so it doesn't appear there as well uh
3:01
you can turn off current mode i mean I
3:03
like these things on again but if you
3:05
shut them off they won't appear there
3:07
and then just go through into the live
3:09
notification section and turn off all of
3:12
this stuff so turn off sports from
3:14
Google media player maps Samsung Health
3:17
interpreter clock voice recorder Samsung
3:19
notes emergency sharing now keep in mind
3:22
that Samsung is going to add more
3:24
categories over time with 1 UI 8.0
3:27
there's quite a few new things that will
3:29
be coming to the now bar so you may have
3:32
to go back at some point and shut those
3:34
off as well as they're added there is no
3:37
way to just remove everything with one
3:39
push right now unfortunately um if you
3:42
don't like the now bar you just can't
3:44
remove everything all at once but you
3:46
can do these steps to remove all the
3:47
things individually and then essentially
3:49
nothing will show up either in the live
3:51
notifications or elsewhere on your
3:54
device so you won't see it on the lock
3:57
screen you won't see it anywhere else
3:58
either now if you have the always on
4:00
display on you also have to go in here
4:03
and make sure you turn the now bar off
4:05
here as well because otherwise it can
4:07
show up on the always on display
4:08
separate of the lock screen the live
4:10
notifications there essentially three
4:12
places it could show up the always on
4:14
display right the lock screen at the
4:17
bottom here and then also the live
4:19
notifications at the top so if you
4:22
remove all of those every single one of
4:24
those turn off all the categories turn
4:26
off these guys that should effectively
4:29
remove everything from your device in
4:32
terms of the now bar and you won't see
4:34
it anymore right now there is no way to
4:36
have live notifications but the now bar
4:39
off on the lock screen in AOD or vice
4:42
versa uh you really can't do one or the
4:44
other the now bar will appear on the
4:47
lock screen if you have it enabled here
4:50
in the live notifications you can turn
4:52
it off the AOD separately but you can't
4:55
turn it off the lock screen and the live
4:57
notifications separately cuz that's all
4:59
integrated here so you've got a little
5:01
bit of granular control samsung could
5:02
still do a little better but hopefully
5:04
this helps you guys if you want to turn
5:06
all those off you can effectively remove
5:08
the now bar and live notifications from
5:09
everywhere in 1
5:11
UI7.0 anyway I hope you guys enjoyed the
