Following the expansion of the One UI 7 beta, owners of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 have begun testing the latest Android 15-based beta build in select regions. The major highlight of One UI 7, the Now Bar’s Live Activities, is now reportedly accessible on the 6th gen Galaxy foldables after installing the latest beta update.

Samsung initially introduced the Now Bar feature with One UI 7 (beta 1) on the Galaxy S24 series, which takes the form of a unique pill-shaped dynamic island. This allows users to view key information at a glance on the Always-On Display (AOD), lock screen, and home screen’s status bar.

Samsung Introduces Media Player Live Notification with Latest One UI 7 Beta for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6

According to a report by SamMobile TV, after installing the latest One UI 7 beta build on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6, the Now Bar’s Live Activity was found to be easily accessible on these devices.

Essentially, the source mentioned that the Media Playback Live Activity feature was actively running via the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6’s status bar on the home screen. Notably, even the current flagship, the S25, which runs a stable Android 15-based One UI 7 version, does not include this capability as of now.

While Samsung has efficiently integrated additional controls into the Now Bar’s Live Activities, the company might expand this feature to more Galaxy devices beyond the S24 and S25 series, which currently have it out of the box.

Furthermore, the appearance of the Now Bar’s Live Activity on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6’s status bar hints that Samsung might be planning to expand Live Activities to more older Galaxy devices, although official details are still awaited.
