Accessibility for everyone One UI 3 recommends useful accessibility features for you based on your usage. The improved Accessibility shortcut makes accessibility features easier to start and use.

Stronger privacy protection You can now let an app access to your microphone, camera, or location just one time. Any permissions that an app hasn’t used in a while will be automatically revoked. You can no longer give apps permission to always see your location in the regular permission popup. To let apps access your location when they’re not in use, you need to go to the location permission page for the app in Settings. Enhanced connectivity with other devices. • Support Buds auto switching between Galaxy phone and tablet (when using a same Samsung account in both devices). • Support Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes continuity between devices using a same Samsung account. • Support Copy/Paste of texts and images between devices using a same Samsung account.
