a text assistant with AI and quantum data protection

One UI 7 is about to receive the second beta and a third at the end of the year before moving to the final version, which will be revealed during the presentation of the next Galaxy S25 which is expected to be released in the first weeks of 2025 Now Samsung has given all the information about. one of the flagship functions that will debut in One UI 7 based on Android 15 and called Now Bar.

This new version of One UI was expected with an improvement in generative artificial intelligence functions via Galaxy AI and some new experiences that Samsung is already detailing to open a mouthful, but It will be more complete than expected And besides the aesthetic and functional part, there is also a very important point regarding the confidentiality of user data.

And that's it does not only focus on certain experiences with Galaxy AI that make life easierbut also considers an important aspect since the mobile phone is a vital part of the day of the person or user owning a Samsung Galaxy: their private data.

Samsung presented Personal data enginea major breakthrough in the privacy of the user's personal data on the device and between applications. The objective is for this data to be stored in a private and secure space already known to everyone for years with Samsung Knox and its Knox Vault; Samsung Secure Folder was and is one of the best experiences in this regard.

Not only will it backup and protect private data that can be used with AI on your Galaxy phones, but it will add a additional layer of protection called post-quantum cryptography which ensures that data is protected against quantum computing threats.

This great measure for user data security is the basis of one of the most striking and important novelties which will see the light of day with the premiere of One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25, and possibly, although it will have to be confirmed, on the rest of the Galaxy which will be updated a week after its presentation: Now Bar.

Now Bar is a new personalization experience on mobile which goes directly to the lock screen to notify and control daily actions and most used applications. The proposal is that it is a control and information node from which you can know the time recorded in a race, receive instructions from Google Maps or communicate in other languages.

Samsung even showed it in a chart the design and some examples of Now Bar in which the text and the different icons are the protagonists of the information and control experience of the most used applications and experiences on a Samsung Galaxy.

Yes In this bar, AI works in the background to offer recommendations such as the creation of a folder of essential applications while the user prepares their luggage for their trip to Madrid from Paris, a notice to leave on time to catch the plane or even a personalized playlist to listen to during the trip.

The central idea of ​​Now Bar, as Samsung shows on its website in Europe, is that it works as part of Galaxy AI and as a kind of text assistant with recommendationsnotifications with key information for the person and control of certain experiences so that it is not even necessary to unlock the screen; Google is already working on something similar for Home with an informational widget with AI-driven text. And all data is managed and protected from the new additional post-quantum cryptographic layer and with Knox.
