One UI 6/Android 14 Beta 2 starts to roll out to the Galaxy S23 series
The One UI 6/Android 14 Beta 2 update has started rolling out to the Galaxy S23 series according to a Reddit post which has since been removed by the moderators of the GalaxyS23Ultra subreddit. The second Beta includes bug fixes and some new features. For example, Samsung Health has a redesign that includes bolder fonts, and the water tracking feature, which keeps track of how much water you drink, will now allow the user to enter custom cup sizes.
Other new features include:
- A new video editing feature called "Studio."
- Camera app gives users the option to disable swipe to switch cameras.
- Two-handed gesture allows users to copy and paste. Put one hand on the file you want to copy and the second hand on the folder where you want the copy to go.
- Files and Gallery apps now share the same trash can.
As is typical for a second Beta release, it fixes several issues created by the first Beta release including one that prevented Netflix from loading properly. Other notable bugs that were fixed by the second Beta update include one that caused the Home app to crash and another one that fixed a shortcut key error on the QWERTY keyboard.
