One UI 7 is about to receive the second beta and a third at the end of the year before moving on to the final version, which will be released at the presentation of the next Galaxy S25 that should drop in the first weeks of 2025. Now Samsung has given all the information about one of the star functions that will debut in One UI 7 based on Android 15 and called Now Bar.
This new version of One UI was expected with an improvement in the generative artificial intelligence functions through Galaxy AI and some new experiences that Samsung already details in order to open a bite, but It will be more complete than expected And apart from the aesthetic and functional part, there is also a very important point regarding the privacy of user data.
And it is that not only focuses on some experiences with Galaxy AI that make life easierbut also contemplates an important aspect as the mobile phone is a vital part of the day of the person or user with a Samsung Galaxy: their private data.
Samsung has presented Personal Data Enginea powerful advance when it comes to the privacy of the user’s personal data on the device and between apps. The objective is for this data to be stored in a private and secure space already known to everyone for years with Samsung Knox and its Knox Vault; Samsung Secure Folder has been and is one of the best experiences in this regard.
Not only will it save and protect private data that can be used with AI on your Galaxy phones, but it adds a extra layer of protection called post-quantum cryptography which ensures that data is protected from the threats of quantum computing.
Now Bar, Samsung’s new star feature for One UI 7

This great measure for the security of user data is the basis for one of the most striking and important novelties that will see the light with the premiere of One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25, and possibly, although it will have to be confirmed, on the rest of the Galaxy that are updated a week after its presentation: Now Bar.
Now Bar is a new personalization experience on mobile that goes directly to the lock screen to notify and control everyday actions and the most used apps. The proposal is that it be a control and information node from which you can know the time recorded in a race, receive directions from Google Maps or communicate in other languages.

Samsung has even shown in a graph the design and some of the examples of Now Bar in which the text and different icons are the protagonists of the information and control experience of the most used apps and experiences on a Samsung Galaxy.
AND In this bar the AI works in the background to offer recommendations such as the creation of a folder of essential apps while the user is preparing their bags for their trip to Madrid from Paris, a notice to leave on time to catch the flight or even a personalized playlist to listen to during the trip.
The central idea of Now Bar, as shown by Samsung from its website in Spainis to work as part of Galaxy AI and as a kind of text assistant with recommendationsnotifications with key information for the person and control of some experiences so that it is not even necessary to unlock the screen; Google is already working on something similar for Home with an informative widget with text based on AI. And all data managed and protected from the new additional post-quantum cryptographic layer and with Knox.
