Introduction
Samsung is set to roll out its One UI 7 update starting April 7, 2025, introducing a range of enhancements to its Galaxy devices. However, users of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 should be aware that two notable features will not be available on these models.
Excluded Features
-
Natural Language Search in Settings
One UI 7 introduces an intelligent search tool within the Settings app, allowing users to find and modify settings using natural language inputs. For instance, typing or saying “My eyes are tired” would prompt the system to suggest enabling Eye Protection mode or reducing screen brightness. Unfortunately, this feature will not be accessible on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.

However, this functionality will not be available on the Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5.
