0:04
Today we're going to be talking about
0:05
three different updates that have
0:07
arrived on Galaxy smartphones Uh two of
0:09
them actually related They're about
0:11
nearby device scanning and connecting
0:13
nearby devices Um which allows you to
0:16
use things like your Galaxy Buds your
0:18
wearables etc Um and also has to do with
0:21
the brand new nearby device connection
0:24
feature that's in 1 UI7 We're going to
0:26
talk about that today And then also
0:28
another update's been pushed to HomeUp
0:30
right after we got the update with Fold
0:32
and Tablet support that brings a few bug
0:33
fixes I'll talk about that at the end
0:35

those off of the site at Sammy Guru
1:19
Anyway check that out in the pin comment
1:21
description if you're interested So this
1:22
first update um is an update to nearby
1:25
device scanning and it adds two
1:27
important fixes One of those is the
1:30
support for DJI gimbals So if you have a
1:32
DJI gimbal you can now use it uh with
1:35
your Galaxy device more seamlessly
1:37
because it now supports nearby device
1:39
scanning and adding those very quickly
1:41
using the nearby device scanning Like
1:43
with your buds you'll see a little popup
1:44
for your DJI gimbal and it will pair
1:46
seamlessly Also supports tech to text to
1:49
speech and your buds battery pop-up So
1:51
if you do have buds then when you see
1:54
the battery pop up you can now use the
1:55
accessibility option to convert all the
1:58
text in that prompt to speech And then
2:00
of course also some stability and bug
2:03
fixes So if you don't know where to find
2:05
this uh particular app you can go into
2:07
the settings scroll down to apps Now if
2:09
you scroll down you may notice so if you
2:12
scroll down in my case you see how it's
2:15
right there there it is Nearby device
2:17
scanning version
2:20
11.1.19.5 You can tap app details in
2:22
store and then see the update which is
2:24
the one I just talked about 8.43
2:27
megabytes So that's the first update The
2:30
other one is also right next to it which
2:33
is the nearby devices update This is an
2:36
update Let's actually view this in the
2:38
store as well that brings new
2:40
functionality to the nearby device
2:42
connection feature which is right up
2:44
here on 1 UI7 This update brings a more
2:47
stable connection between your devices
2:49
your various Galaxy devices and also
2:51
adds an info button It's version
2:56
1.1.19.2280 April 14th 2025 7.89
3:00
megabytes Now keep in mind Samsung
3:02
always rolls these out in a stage
3:03
rollout So even though it says April
3:05
14th that's you know probably not when
3:07
you got the update Anyway if you don't
3:09
know about this feature if you tap on
3:11
nearby devices in the quick settings you
3:13
now see all of your devices in your
3:14
Galaxy ecosystem that are connected to
3:16
your particular phone In this case I got
3:18
my Galaxy Ring You can actually tap on
3:20
it too and see the available features
3:22
You see the battery percentage the
3:24
various apps like Galaxy wearable which
3:26
allows me to tap on that and control the
3:28
features of my Ring I can go right there
3:30
and also control everything to do with
3:32
my Ring Also go into health and control
3:34
of my health functionality Now you
3:37
cannot connect two phones together
3:39
tablets sort of things like that But you
3:42
can drag and connect other things like
3:43
if you have a monitor you guys see you
3:44
have a monitor and a TV What you can do
3:46
is just drag this over here to your
3:48
phone and automatically start mirroring
3:50
with smart view So if you have a TV you
3:52
have a monitor anything like that those
3:54
will be connected Of course if you have
3:56
your watch as well you'll be able to go
3:58
ahead and drag that as well You see I've
3:59
got my Tab S10 Ultra here You can drag
4:02
that and start multicontrol which will
4:04
allow you to control your tablet from
4:07
your phone Now of course I don't have it
4:09
unlocked but if I wanted to do this and
4:10
I did have it unlocked I'd be able to do
4:12
that You can also tap more features and
4:14
you can see all the other features that
4:16
are supported once you unlock your
4:18
tablet So the new feature here is this
4:20
info button at the top which tells you
4:23
everything you can do Because some
4:24
people were confused when they got 1 UI7
4:27
about why they couldn't pair certain
4:29
devices using nearby devices For
4:31
instance feature availability what can I
4:33
do you know and also what are the
4:35
requirements So for phones and tablets
4:37
you need 1 UI7 or higher for Galaxy
4:39
Books nearby app needs to be installed
4:42
Samsung settings 6.0 or higher
4:44
continuity service 1.13 or higher This
4:46
tells you all the discoverable devices
4:49
and what you can do with each one So you
4:51
can see with phones and tablets you have
4:52
to be signed into the same Samsung
4:54
account Bluetooth has to be on Also the
4:57
same thing for Galaxy Books signed into
4:59
the same Samsung account For TVs they
5:01
have to be turned on signed into the
5:02
same Samsung account or must have to be
5:05
connected to this phone at least once
5:07
using Smart View or Dex TVs released
5:09
after 2016 are available for this Buds
5:13
and watches must be paired with this
5:15
phone using Bluetooth They must be
5:17
removed from the case or case open
5:19
Galaxy Watch 4 and above are supported
5:22
Watches bands and rings aren't
5:24
discolorable on Galaxy Books or tablets
5:26
So this clarifies a lot to do with the
5:29
nearby devices You also have the
5:31
settings toggle still up here showing
5:32
your Samsung account about nearby
5:34
devices and the supported device
5:36
information which again gives you some
5:38
of that same information They just made
5:40
it a little more obvious so that people
5:42
could find out about their various
5:43
devices Anyway the final update I want
5:46
to share with you guys is one that I
5:47
actually got right before doing this
5:48
video in the Samsung store It's a small
5:51
stability update to HomeUp which just
5:54
received a big update with fold and
5:56
tablet support You can see here this
5:58
brings it to version scroll all the way
6:01
down and see the size
6:04
16.0.0.86 24.49 megs No huge feature
6:08

6:09
