Samsung One UI 6.1.1 changelog: All the new features and improvements

The first week of September became an exciting one for Samsung fans, as the Korean giant started the rollout of the One UI 6.1.1 update. One UI 6.1.1 was introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 and is set to make its way to several older Galaxy flagships.

The Galaxy S24 series is the first of the eligible devices to get One UI 6.1.1. The update started rolling out to the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra in select markets on September 5, and it brought with it the complete One UI 6.1.1 changelog.

One UI 6.1.1 comes with new Galaxy AI features and improvements to existing AI features. It also brings some non-AI features and general improvements for the user experience. The full changelog is pretty long, and you can learn about all that is new in One UI 6.1.1 down below.

The Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 lineup will likely get everything that's available on the Galaxy S24 lineup. The Galaxy S23 FE and flagship phones and tablets launched before 2023, on the other hand, could miss out on some features.

Create unique portraits

Let your phone do the writing for you

  • When you need to write something, whether it's a text, an email, or a social media post, you can start by giving Samsung Keyboard's new Composer a short request or snippet of text, then let Galaxy AI do the rest.

Translate calls in more apps

And now, in addition to the Samsung Phone app, you can get real-time translation in supported voice calling apps like Google Meet and WhatsApp. During a call, tap Live translate in the quick panel to start translating.

Translate image text on webpages

Edit voice recordings and transcripts

Enhance your wallpaper with special weather effects

  • Choose a photo to use for your photo ambient wallpaper and watch it change along with the time of day and weather conditions in the location you set for your weather widget.
