- Samsung moved the media player from the notifications shade to the quick settings panel in One UI 7.
- Following criticism from users, the company has added an option to add media controls to the notification shade in the latest beta update.
- This new setting does not remove the media player from the quick settings dropdown.
Samsung’s One UI 7 update brings a host of useful new features, but one particular change has garnered a split response from users. Thankfully, the company appears to be taking user feedback seriously and has introduced a much-needed improvement in the latest beta release.
With One UI 7, Samsung copied Apple’s homework and split its notification shade from the quick settings dropdown. As part of this move, the company also moved media controls from the notification shade and gave them a permanent place in the new quick settings menu. Users who did not revert to the old, unified design raised concerns about this decision, and Samsung seems to be paying attention.
