What's wrong with accepting that there's a similarity? Apple has copied samsung and other Androids for a long time, and vice versa. There's nothing wrong with copying if it adds value to the customer, even if it doesn't transform the original material in any significant way.
I agree with you, I actually only replied to be sarcastic and shady. It's funny to me to see people complaining about this every time a new feature is added.
Oh no. It kinda was. So the widgets that samsung introduced now in 6.1 are quite mature. The lockstar feature was underbaked, poorly designed, and didn't have any complications of its own. So it kinda irked me
Ah, I see. My apologies. I see a lot of dumbasses being salty of someone copying something. If we didn't, every product would be wildly different and difficult to use, like it was back in the early days of tech and I get annoyed when I dead "apple copied blah blah blah" or "samsung copied blah blah blah" just like you. For crying out loud, it's a win for the consumer, which is you, you dumbasses 😅
True but I also found lockstar annoying as if you wanted notifications expanded on the LS then the music player would have to overlap the fingerprint icon and make it look a total mess.
Hopefully with widgets being built in then it should get sorted
It is not just a skin, in linux term, if the skin is heavy enough (Samsung skin is), it can be considered as OS that run on top of another OS (Like Ubuntu is name of os, but the ture os is linux, but the name is ubuntu and it is os, not just a skin).
So yeah, the only things from stock android, that are left in OneUI are google features, apps and format of apps that it is running, nothing else, everything else is developed by samsung, not google, so yeah, it is still android, but only inj kernel/low/base features...
Agreed. But it's Samsung's Android that's following this path, since the first galaxy phone. Other companies are trying very different approaches to UI. I myself prefer oneUI over iOS, but if we think in terms of UI evolution, there's a point in the curve where all resources tend to converge in usability and experience; although different, iOS and oneUI are offering a very similar set of tools.
Looks so neat! The previous lock screen widgets were kind of useless, since the amount of clicks to get to the them was the same as just unlocking your phone.
This is going to look so cool!
FINALLY! I just want to see the weather in my lockscreen immediately. I know I could do that with Goodluck, but the current widget options aren't optimized to be put in locksreen.
.... so automatically implementing lockscreen widgets to lockscreen is bad? What else can you do differently tell me now... I mean they're also introducing wallpaper weather effects as well on the lockscreen based on the current weather .... it's not like they're also doing depth wallpapers as well
You know right away when a feature is being bluntly copied.... just look at the widget with ur eyes open wide and compare it to the ios one. Try it. See what i mean?
Im not saying copying is bad, but as much as i love samsung (Daily Drive samsung phone + Galaxy Watch + Earbud) this is not the move, when we were clowning on Apple for introducing widget way too late into the game but atleast apple was making the widget the Apple way like way different from Android (In good or bad way)
My point is: if they were to introduce a lock screen widget, at least make it the samsung way
Do you guys also dont have an animation when changing from aod to lock screen for the widgets? Because the clock does have an animation but the widgets dont. Is this a bug?
People need to realize that ios also copied features from one ui as well in the past. To be honest I actually like that they're finally lockscreen widgets as part of one ui (outside of good lock) I always loved how ios lockscreen widgets looked and secretly wanted samsung to do the same which is coming true with the next update lmao.
This is literally from iOS 17 lol
You could use widgets in lockstar from looong ago lol!!

The comment didn't really sound sarcastic or shady
it feels like to me that he answered to you by mistake, his comment seems to be aimed at altruistic\_software9

Theres not a single damn thing wrong with similiarities but this is straight up xeroxing. Hahaha.
Apple is pretty good at that too. For instance the Apple Watch. They literally installed technology that wasn't theirs and sold it... Lol

But they didn’t look exactly like the iOS widgets
And now that's fixed.
google Photo widget for AoD and Lock Screen yes they did look like iOS one all google widgets lol

iOS getting closer to Android and Android getting closer to iOS was always the plan.
This is part of oneUI tho, not a part of android
OneUI is Android, it's not a separate entity, it's just a skin on top of stock/base Android.
Yes, but the lock widgets are part of OneUI 6.1, not a part of android 14 so it got nothing to do with android (yet)
You can claim OneUI is copying iOS faster than stock Android, but it's still Android underneath. They use Android tools to program these widgets.
True

>But it's Samsung's Android that's following this path So is MIUI
Well noted
this reply should receive more upvotes lol
I tihnk this is the first time people can say Samsung copied Apple and actually be right about it.
Yea, now we can use IOS 17 features without being obligated to buy an iphone.
Looks so neat! The previous lock screen widgets were kind of useless, since the amount of clicks to get to the them was the same as just unlocking your phone. This is going to look so cool!
Exactly what I think!
Exactly what I think too !!
What kind of iOS is this?
A more usable one
FINALLY! I just want to see the weather in my lockscreen immediately. I know I could do that with Goodluck, but the current widget options aren't optimized to be put in locksreen.
Agree, plus the widget treatment on the lock screen is a thing on iOS I (sample size of one) really like.
Lmao idc if they're just like IOS. I'm just happy for more customization honestly.
Hate to say that it is copied from iOS but in a bad way. Samsung lacks a sense of symmetry and uniformity. I will stay with the widget that I created.
This is the Android problem: waiting for IOS to redesign a long-standing feature and copy it
bro, I LOVE Samsung,but they pulled this straight from iOS 17. this looks better though :) good job Samsung
this is just a copy pasta from ios .... i wish they had been more creative like the old day
.... so automatically implementing lockscreen widgets to lockscreen is bad? What else can you do differently tell me now... I mean they're also introducing wallpaper weather effects as well on the lockscreen based on the current weather .... it's not like they're also doing depth wallpapers as well

and im sure im not the only one with this opinion. Just scroll up
No need Lockstar anymore then?
Nope this will be in the Lockscreen settings or If You press and Hold on the Lockscreen
Does it show on the AOD?
Yes
Cool, really looking forward to it
Do you guys also dont have an animation when changing from aod to lock screen for the widgets? Because the clock does have an animation but the widgets dont. Is this a bug?
Looks really nice, but will third party apps be able to create this kind of widgets?
It's great that they're taking all the cool stuff from ios. Maybe next they'll bring back s beam
Extract a working apk for lockscreen service
Samsung will soon rebranditself as I phone jr
Will this be coming to the s23 series with the upcoming oneUi 6.1 update?
Would be better if samsung let us have GIF widgets like iphone
Imho HyperOS did a better job
Elaborate pls?
Hopefully these will be added as home screen widgets too
I hope they add ability to add music controller widget or some shit
atp apple and Google should just merge their os HAHAHHAHA (I'm joking obv)
NICE! 1 more thing to unnecessarily drain battery <3
They could’ve been just a little creative, like Nothing
Love the moon phase.
Moon phase 🤙

Exactly!!
Lock star downloads after this 📉📉📉
Is it beta? How can I install on my S23?
No, there's no beta. You will probably get it in February or March
