0:05
about live notifications in the now bar
0:07
on 1 UI 8.0 now the now bar has been
0:10
polarizing to say the least in 1 UI7
0:12
some people love it some people
0:13
absolutely hate it and I actually made a
0:15
video talking about how you can pretty
0:16
much remove all the now bar and live
0:18
notification functionality from your 1
0:21
UI7 device if you guys want to check

0:25

1:35
in the pen comment and description so
1:38
today I want to talk about live
1:39
notifications you guys know if you're
1:41
using 1 UI7 you can go into your lock
1:44
screen in AOD go into now and you can
1:47
see a list of supported applications
1:49
here that you have installed that
1:51
support the now bar now right now the
1:53
list of support applications on the now
1:55
bar is fairly limited basically you got
1:57
your various media players like Spotify
1:59
YouTube music whatever you use for your
2:01
music player can be you know appearing
2:03
on the now bar you've got maps you've
2:05
got sports from Google which is one of
2:06
my favorite and the most useful samsung
2:08
Health for your workouts interpreter the
2:11
clock voice recorder Samsung notes and
2:13
emergency sharing so with the exception
2:15
of these Google applications most of
2:17
these are in fact Samsung first party
2:19
applications on your Galaxy smartphone
2:21
so a lot of people were wondering when
2:23
are we going to see third-party
2:24
applications make their way and a lot of
2:27
the applications people have been asking
2:28
for are things like ride sharing apps
2:30
like Uber andyft get the status of your
2:32
ride on the now bar uh some people also
2:34
mentioned like sports betting you could
2:35
get like your sports betting information
2:37
fanduel DraftKings i think maybe I asked
2:40
for that maybe that shows that maybe I
2:41
spent a little bit too much time on
2:42
FanDuel but anyway we now have evidence
2:45
that Samsung and Google are preparing to
2:47
bring thirdparty live notification
2:49
support using the live notification
2:51
support already built into Android 16
2:54
android 16 launching officially in
2:56
stable on the Pixels in just around a
2:59
few weeks so if you go into developer
3:01
options on 1 UI 8.0 and yes this is a 1
3:04
UI 8.0 phone i'm running an early
3:06
preview build and you scroll down you'll
3:09
find this option it's near the bottom
3:11
here find it for you guys right here
3:15
real time notification test and what
3:18
this does is it allows you to see how a
3:20
live activity will look on your Galaxy
3:23
smartphone how it will look in the live
3:24
activity section and how it will also
3:26
look on the now bar so this very much
3:28
suggests that Samsung is indeed working
3:31
with Google to bring this default
3:33
Android 16 functionality for live
3:35
notifications and optimize it for the
3:37
live notifications and the now bar that
3:39
we already have built into Galaxy
3:41
smartphones as of 1 UI7 now if you want
3:43
to see this actually looks and enable
3:45
the Easter egg you can go into about
3:47
phone software information and then
3:49
enable it so let's do that now once
3:51
you're inside software information what
3:53
you're going to do is go ahead and tap
3:54
repeatedly on the Android 16 version
3:56
number then long press on the Android 16
4:00
logo until
4:02
eventually the ship the rocket ship
4:04
takes off you get this thing right here
4:06
you can play which of course is this
4:08
little game that's built into the Easter
4:10
egg if you swipe out of that however now
4:13
up here you've got your a drift Android
4:17
Easter egg in space under manual control
4:20
you can see how this live notification
4:22
looks on the now bar so this is exactly
4:25
what they're testing they're obviously
4:26
testing this for optimization with other
4:29
thirdparty applications if you go to the
4:31
lock screen you'll also see it down here
4:34
on the now bar you guys see there
4:36
Android Easter egg in space under manual
4:39
control just a little game so this is
4:41
definitive evidence that obviously and
4:44
of course if you tap on notification it
4:46
goes right into the application itself
4:48
so this is pretty definitive evidence
4:50
that Google and Samsung are going to
4:51
integrate the Android 16 live
4:53
notification support with what we
4:55
already have with Galaxy smartphones on
4:57
1 UI 8 make the now bar better bring
5:00
more apps i'm sure Uber and Lyft the
5:02
very minimum will be coming cuz people
5:04
have been asking for that probably Door
5:05
Dash you know Uber Eats GrubHub whatever
5:08
all those food delivery services as well
5:10
i would imagine probably even like
5:12
Amazon could potentially make its way to
5:14
the live notification section surely a
5:17
lot of other Google apps will also get
5:18
support since it's coming to Android 16
5:20
officially should be great for everyone
5:22
if you love the noun bar if you don't go
5:24
check out that video I made about how to
5:26
remove pretty much all now functionality
5:28
in 1 UI 7 anyway hope you guys enjoyed
