Samsung continues to quietly refine the One UI 8.5 experience, this time by updating the One Hand Operation+ app to better support the latest beta software. One UI 8.5 rolled out last week with a range of visual tweaks and new features, and alongside the system update, Samsung has been steadily bringing compatibility updates to its core and companion apps. The latest One Hand Operation+ update focuses on improving stability, fixing bugs, and ensuring smooth performance on devices running the One UI 8.5 beta.
One Hand Operation+ is part of Samsung’s Good Lock ecosystem and is designed to make large Galaxy phones easier to use with one hand by adding customizable gesture controls for navigation. With the new update, users running the One UI 8.5 beta—particularly those on the Galaxy S25 series—can continue using the app without issues, benefiting from smoother gestures and more reliable everyday performance. While the update doesn’t introduce major new features, it plays an important role in maintaining a consistent user experience during the beta phase.
Samsung has been taking a similar approach with several other Galaxy apps, including Calculator, Clock, Samsung Internet, and Samsung Notes, all of which have recently received updates optimized for One UI 8.5. These updates not only add compatibility with the new software but also introduce subtle design refinements and quality-of-life improvements. For now, One UI 8.5 remains exclusive to the Galaxy S25 lineup in beta form, with a stable release expected early next year alongside the launch of the Galaxy S26 series. As One UI 8.5 continues to evolve, updates like this highlight Samsung’s focus on usability improvements that enhance daily interactions rather than just delivering headline-grabbing features.
