Simplified app names in Galaxy One UI 6

Last Update date : Oct 28. 2023

Galaxy users will notice some subtle changes with the release of Galaxy One UI 6 (Android Version 14). For example, the names displayed with a number of Samsung app icons have been simplified, making it easier for users to recognise apps at a glance.

Galaxy One UI 6 changes visible on a Galaxy phone home screen.

Simplified labels

Simplifying app labels for Galaxy One UI 6 (Android Version 14) includes limiting app names to one line on Galaxy home screens by removing the words "Samsung" and "Galaxy" from the displayed names of apps. This change creates a cleaner, more organised appearance, which in turn helps users find their favourites more easily.

Note: The actual name of the app has not changed, only the way it appears on both the home screen and app screen.
