Samsung drops ‘Auto Rotate Widgets’ in One UI 6.1.1

Posted on

Top 3 Key Points:

  1. Samsung removed the ‘Auto Rotate Widgets’ feature with One UI 6.1.1.
  2. Users report mixed feelings, with some finding it useful, while others say it never worked well.
  3. It’s unclear if the feature was removed due to performance issues or as part of a Samsung Home update.

Samsung recently launched the One UI 6.1.1 update for eligible devices, adding several new features while also quietly removing some older ones. One notable feature that’s missing is the ‘Auto Rotate Widgets’ function in Smart Widgets. This feature previously allowed stacked widgets to automatically rotate and display the most relevant widget based on your usage patterns.

A user on Reddit reported that after updating to One UI 6.1.1 on their Galaxy device, they could no longer find the ‘Auto Rotate Widgets’ option. Opinions on the feature have been mixed—some users found it extremely useful, while others said it didn’t rotate widgets as expected. The reason for its removal isn’t fully clear, but some speculate it may be due to performance issues. Many feel that Samsung should have fixed the feature instead of removing it altogether.

There’s also speculation that this change may have come from an update to the Samsung Home app, not just the One UI update. Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the reason behind the removal, so more details may emerge in the future. Meanwhile, you can explore the other new features in One UI 6.1.1 through available videos and updates.
