Scroll down for a full list of changes. Multi window • Touch and hold text, a link, or a file in Notes, My Files, Messages, or Samsung Internet, then drag it to the edge of the screen to open it in split screen or a pop-up window. • Arrange your open apps into multi window configurations so you can see more at once.

Additional large screen improvements • When you leave the Clock app while a timer is running, a mini timer will appear on top of other apps so you can keep track of how much time is remaining. • Navigation rail has been added to several apps to give you more space for primary content. (Reminder, Calendar, My files, Tips, Weather) • Secondary apps can be opened in small overlay windows to keep you focused on your main task. (Phone, Contacts, Gallery) Some apps will need to be updated separately after the One UI 3.1.1 update. After updating, you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy.
