TL;DR
- With One UI 8.5 beta, the flashlight also gets a major usability boost with a live “torch on” indicator in the Now Bar.
- YouTube recommendations in Now Brief also now use a clean, swipe-friendly horizontal carousel instead of a tight vertical list.
Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is more than a simple update. After the beta program kicked off a few days ago, it has since changed two features Galaxy users rely on every day: the YouTube cards in Now Brief and the flashlight toggle. Both changes finally fix some old annoyances you might have gotten used to.
One major change is in YouTube recommendations inside the Now Brief widget. Instead of showing two videos in a vertical list, One UI 8.5 uses a horizontal carousel that is much easier to swipe through.
