- Samsung has begun rolling out the new One UI 7 update with April security patches for the Galaxy S25 series in the US.
- The YD9 firmware version introduces support for Now Bar and Live Notifications for media apps, a refreshed charging animation, and a redesigned battery icon.
The April update for the Galaxy S25 series comes with firmware version ending with “YD9” and includes the April 2025 security patches. This update brings several new features, such as Now Bar and Live Notification support for media player apps, a new charging animation, a new battery icon, and more. X user MatthewReiter05 (via theonecid) received the update on their Galaxy S25 Ultra on Verizon, although the user notes the dismal state of the changelog.
With One UI 7 rollout now resuming for older Samsung flagships worldwide, it’s only a matter of time before the update reaches the US market, too. Once that happens, newer and older Galaxy owners will finally have a more unified One UI 7 experience, and we can finally put the mess of One UI 7 rollout behind us.
