Samsung Galaxy phones could soon get a popular Apple feature
Apple phones and laptops have been able to interface with each other for years, and Samsung devices could do the same soon.
Samsung may soon adopt a popular feature from Apple, according to leaker Fahad Ali Javed. The potential addition, seen in screenshots of the upcoming One UI 9.5 update, is app mirroring. This feature would enable Samsung device users to receive notifications and control their phones using a connected Mac computer. Javed's post suggests that this feature could work between a Samsung phone and a linked laptop, provided both devices are logged into the same Samsung account.
App mirroring mirrors the functionality of iPhone/MacBook users, who appreciate the time-saving benefits of this feature. Less significantly, One UI 9.5 might introduce the horizontal app bar, complete with an always-visible search bar, found on Samsung foldable phones. This adjustment could be particularly beneficial for phones with larger displays. However, the adaptation of this feature to standard phones remains to be seen. Regardless, app mirroring would indeed be a valuable addition for Samsung users.
