Your Galaxy’s SmartThings app looks set for its biggest redesign in years

Credit: Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s SmartThings app appears set for a major redesign with a more modern One UI look. The update includes dynamic backgrounds, a floating navigation bar, and new home-screen widgets. The revamped app also reorganizes routines and adds suggestions for features you might want to try.

Samsung has spent the past couple of years refreshing its apps with the latest One UI design, but SmartThings has largely been left alone to look increasingly dated. That appears set to change, with a major redesign bringing a new navigation bar, dynamic backgrounds, and several other visual upgrades to the Android smart home app. SamMobile has shared an early look at the unreleased update.

The most obvious change is a floating, pill-shaped navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, matching the design Samsung has introduced across other apps. It still provides access to the familiar Home, Devices, Life, Routines, and Menu tabs.
