- Audio Eraser – Edit videos by cutting out annoying sounds like wind or chatter. It works on the S24 series, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and Tab S10, though results depend on the video.

Starting April 7, One UI 7 will hit the Galaxy S24 series, Z Flip 6, and Z Fold 6, then roll out to more devices later. Keep an eye out!
