One standout feature is Shared Widgets, which allows you to link widgets with friends and family. This enables you to view others’ widgets on your home screen and interact with them through reactions—which the company calls “a new way to stay connected.” The update also introduces a much more customisable lock screen with new clock faces, and an expanded widget space to fit more widgets.

Quick Settings have been revamped with a redesigned widget library and updated visuals, enhancing network, internet, and Bluetooth settings. The camera experience has also seen improvements: it now offers faster camera launch speed from the camera widget, and reduced HDR scene processing time. Portrait mode effects are now based on face size, and low-light performance is also claimed to be better.
Other notable additions include new fingerprint and charging animations, AI-powered app selection and prioritisation, and a feature to pin pop-ups on the screen edge for quick access.
