Google's Android 15 introduces enhanced privacy features that prevent sensitive notifications from being mirrored to linked Windows PCs via Microsoft's Phone Link app. Notifications containing sensitive information, such as two-factor authentication codes and credit card details, will not be shared with third-party applications, including Phone Link. However, users with devices pre-loaded with Phone Link and supporting the Companion Device Role, like Galaxy smartphones on One UI 6.1 or newer, will still receive these notifications. Users can disable the ‘Enhanced Notifications’ setting to bypass this limitation, but doing so will also disable advanced features like reply suggestions.

Samsung's One UI 7.0 introduces a cloud-based app archiving feature for Galaxy phone users, allowing them to temporarily remove apps while preserving all associated data. Users can archive apps to free up space on their devices, and when they reinstall the app, all data remains intact, eliminating the need to log back in. The feature requires collaboration with the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store for functionality. The stable One UI 7.0 update is expected to roll out early next year.

Samsung is experiencing delays with the Android 15 update for Galaxy S24 and S23 users, who are eager for new features in AI, security, and privacy. A recent leak from Samsung’s Spanish website about the update was quickly retracted. Current leaks indicate that a beta version may be available this month for select models and regions, while a stable release is projected for early 2025 alongside the S25 Series launch. Users are downloading leaked system apps, which pose risks to device safety and personal data, leading Samsung to tighten restrictions on sideloading. Google is also removing thousands of apps from the Play Store for security reasons. Android 15 will include live threat detection powered by on-device AI, but until the update is available, risks remain high. Users are advised to avoid unofficial downloads while awaiting the official updates. Samsung is reportedly making progress on the update, with the build number changing from ZXKV to ZXKY, and more details are expected soon. The stable release will follow the Galaxy S25 series launch and will include One UI 7 for other devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy A55, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
