A few weeks ago, Samsung released the One UI 6.1.1 update to its smartphones and tablets. While it introduced several new features, Samsung disabled Sound Assistant's Multi-Sound feature when Android Auto was active, but it is planning to bring it back with a future One UI update.
Sound Assistant's Multi-Sound feature to return on Android Auto with One UI 7.0
Several people complained about the Multi-Sound feature not working on their Galaxy phones when using Android Auto. Samsung's official forum moderator for Good Lock replied to a related query, saying the feature was removed because it was not working as intended. Several people reportedly faced issues due to the Multi-Sound feature.
The Good Lock support team member also said the Multi-Sound feature needs an overhaul, and the company is trying to do that with the next operating system update. This means the company plans to bring back the feature with the Android 15-based One UI 7.0 update. If you want to use Multi-Sound with Android Auto, you must wait until early next year, when One UI 7.0 is expected to be released.
The One UI Beta Program was delayed this year because One UI 7.0 is a significant change. The company is bringing a major UI design revamp with One UI 7.0 and introducing several new features. We went hands-on with a Galaxy S24 Ultra running an internal beta version of One UI 7.0, and you can watch it in our video below.
One UI 7.0 brings new app icons, a new two-page Quick Panel layout that separates quick settings toggles and notifications, smoother animations and transitions, and a pill-shaped UI element in the status bar for ongoing activities. It also brings a new battery icon and a new battery charging animation. Samsung has also jazzed up the multitasking (Task Switcher) UI with a stacked cards-like styling.
