Samsung Updates Always On Display on One UI 7 Devices with Clock Fix and Smoother Performance
Version 8.9.00.67 Brings Visual Improvements and Prepares Users for One UI 8 Transitions
Samsung has released a new Always On Display (AOD) update—version 8.9.00.67—for Galaxy phones running One UI 7, focusing on bug fixes, performance enhancements, and a refined visual experience.
What’s New in the AOD Update (v8.9.00.67)
This latest update delivers critical bug fixes and stability improvements to enhance the AOD experience:
- Fixes clock positioning bug: After the One UI 7 update, some users noticed the clock appearing misaligned or shifted when using custom ClockFace styles. This update directly addresses that issue.
- Smoother animations and transitions on the AOD screen
- Improved compatibility and responsiveness for One UI 7 devices
- General performance and battery optimization
How to Update Always On Display
To install the latest version of AOD:
- Open the Galaxy Store
- Tap the Menu and go to Updates
- Look for Always On Display (v8.9.00.67) and install it
Alternatively, the update is also available through trusted third-party app repositories, though official channels are recommended for stability.
A Peek into One UI 8: AOD to Lock Screen Animation
A recent leak gives us a preview of a new transition animation coming in One UI 8:
- When moving from AOD to the Lock Screen, the clock smoothly enlarges and shifts downward, offering a more polished visual effect
- This adds to the fluidity and modern design language expected in One UI 8, creating a more immersive user experience
This AOD update is a small but impactful improvement for One UI 7 users, fixing a known clock bug while refining performance. As Samsung fine-tunes its UI ahead of One UI 8, features like AOD are receiving added polish, laying the groundwork for a more cohesive design shift.
