The new software allows users to add frames and effects to wallpapers. When a person or a pet appears in the wallpaper, you can apply the background blur effect. The lockscreen gets new mini-sized widgets for some stock Samsung apps. You can customize alarm and reminder alerts. For alarms, you can choose AR emojis, images, or videos and change the layout of the alarm information. For reminder alerts, you can set colors and backgrounds for full-screen alerts.
You can add up to two stickers for each day on the Calendar app. In the month view, stickers are now shown beside the event name.

One UI 6.1 brings the new Quick Share to the Galaxy A05. The new Quick Share is a merger of Samsung's Quick Share and Google's Nearby Share. It lets you share files over Wi-Fi without an active internet connection.
The Samsung Find app lets you track and locate lost or stolen devices. You can also perform family location sharing with due permissions from other Samsung Find users. You can also share your own location with family members and friends.
Samsung Internet lets you sync tab groups across Samsung devices that have your Samsung Account signed in.
Samsung Health now lets you compete with your records. It also enables you to crop your exercises to remove unnecessary time at the beginning or the end. You also get more options for daily activity targets. One UI 6.1 can add custom moods for female health and menstrual cycle tracking.
The Weather app now has an improved widget that shows more detailed information. One UI 6.1 lets you input text using voice without hiding the Samsung Keyboard. It also lets you open all minimized apps at once.
There are more battery health protection options and improved search in the stock Gallery app. The Finder section of the phone now offers matching search results from Google.
