One UI 7 Enhances Task Manager Experience
Smoother Animations and Gestures
One UI 7 introduces smoother, faster animations when minimizing apps, enhancing user experience. The updated Task Manager features a dynamic carousel-style app switcher with improved touch responsiveness, especially on 120Hz displays. A new unstacking animation displays recently used apps, with the last app used appearing on top.
Multitasking Features
One UI 7 retains key multitasking features:
- Split-screen view
- Pop-up view
- App info
- Keep open
A tap-and-hold gesture allows quick switching between split-screen and pop-up views. The split-screen toolbar has been improved for better app management. Swiping gestures simplify app management:
- Swipe up to close an app.
- Swipe down to reopen a closed app.
- Tap "Close all" to end all background processes.
Recommended apps are displayed below the Task Manager for quick access, and users can customize this section in the settings menu. For related updates, check out the iOS 18.3 Public Beta and macOS 15.3, iPadOS 18.3, and tvOS 18.3 Public Betas.

One UI 7 focuses on refining the Task Manager experience with smoother animations, optimized gestures, and improved multitasking, making background app management easier and more enjoyable. While no new features are added, the enhancements demonstrate Samsung's commitment to improving core functionalities. For more on software updates, see Nothing Phone (2)'s stable Android 15 update.
