Samsung Free arrived with One UI 3 in late 2020 and was first pre-installed in Galaxy S21 flagships. The platform is essentially a competitor to Google Discover, suggesting content for you to watch, listen to, read and play with a single tap on your Home screen.
The feature is now renamed to Samsung News. It will focus on news content, as the name suggests, and ditch the Watch and Play tabs.
Samsung News will make it easy for you to find relevant news on your phone and will only have Read and Listen tabs. Samsung will continue to offer free content via its TV Plus and Game Launcher apps — they’re just moving away from the home screen tile.
Samsung Free will become Samsung News with version 6.0.1, which will be rolled out gradually starting April 18.
