The Galaxy Buds tile is said to allow users to turn 360 Audio on or off directly from the watch. Additionally, users can set the photo album as a wallpaper or background, instead of a single image. The update also enables users to save their watch data backups in Samsung Cloud via the Smart Switch app. Not only that, one can also pair the smartwatch to a new phone without a factory reset.

Furthermore, the One UI 5 Watch software update adds enhanced sleep coaching and offers cycling workout records along with personalised heart rate zone. Other highlights are the ability to adjust call volume, mute sound, and press buttons on the keypad from the watch itself. It also enables Bixby to read notifications.

With the latest update, Galaxy Z Flip 5 or Fold 5 users can even take pictures from their watches by tapping on the camera icon that appears when the phones' camera is open in Flex mode or Tent mode.
