- Samsung’s bar, which is a lock screen carrosal of shining app cards, is expanding its app support and is now available on the Galaxy Z Philip’s cover screen.
- Samsung intends to increase the number of apps and services by the end of 2025, which now supports about 20 to 35.
- This extension will be available on an UI 8 devices, based on Android 16 and adds a new API that allows any app to make “direct notifications”.
This year, one of the biggest new features to add an UI to an UI is now, a swipable carousel of cards that you can get from the bottom of the lock screen without opening your device. These cards include key information and control from various apps and services, including Samsung Clock, Google Maps, and Uber. Until last month, now the bar has only supported 20 apps, but we have learned that Samsung can double the number by the end of the year.
Samsung had now started the bar with his Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, before the feature was brought to other devices in an UI 7 updated. Although the Galaxy Z Philip’s cover screen was no longer available in an UI 7, Samsung has addressed it with the New One U8 software release.

Now in a UI 7 bar.
In the “Device Experience Guide” for the Galaxy Z Philip 7, which ships with an UI 8, Samsung highlighted that the repeated core can now display the real -time app alert on the screen. The document also revealed that the app support for the bar is now ready to increase from 20 services to 35 in an UI 7 (June 2025) in an UI 8 (June 2025) by the end of 2025.
Here is a list of apps and services that now supports the bar in an UI 7 by June 2025. In particular, while Samsung said there are 20 auxiliary apps here, its official list includes only 19 items, and it is unclear who is missing.

Although Samsung’s document did not show which specific apps would be supported, an UI 8 release of the company has opened the flood route for a huge extension. An UI 8 Android 16 is based, which introduces a standard API that allows any app to make “direct notifications”. Although a UI 8 does not currently show direct information from third -party apps, if Samsung enables it in the future, the number of synchronous apps may be significantly extended as more developers adopt the new Android 16 API.
