One key feature of Samsung’s new One UI 7 update could introduce an important new tool. According to SamMobile, a new Good Lock module may address one of the Now Bar’s biggest shortcomings.
The One UI 7 Now Bar is designed to provide at-a-glance information on a device’s lock screen and Always on Display function. Think of it as something like Apple’s Dynamic Island. Unfortunately, in its present form, it doesn’t offer much customization. What you see is what you get.
Samsung is developing a new Good Lock module that will allow users to customize the Now Bar. The module will allow users to change several characteristics, such as color, size, and animations.
There are rumors that the new module, NOWBAR, might also include an option to enable third-party app support for the Now Bar.
