Although Samsung is running late with the One UI 7 rollout, the update is expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
Sketch to Image Feature Update in Photo Editor App
In a separate development, the Photo Editor app has received an update that adds a new feature to the Sketch to Image tool. This feature allows users to save all generated images individually, rather than just one image as before. This update is available for the Photo Editor app version 3.4.29.21.
New Feature: Manual Sticker Selection
The update also brings a new feature that allows users to manually select an area for creating custom stickers. However, this feature is currently available only through Labs, which means that it is still in the testing phase and requires manual activation from settings.
