Samsung introduced many new features with One UI 6.1, which debuted earlier this year with the Galaxy S24 series. One such feature was Photo Ambient, which adds weather effects to the lock screen wallpaper. Samsung is improving the performance of those effects with a new update.

Samsung Vision Core update brings more realistic weather effects to lock screen wallpaper

Samsung has released a huge update to its Vision Core app. The version 1.0.14.0 of the app comes with a huge download size of around 1.2GB and is available via the Galaxy Store. While the changelog just says bug fixes, people have noticed that it improves the realism of weather effects on the lock screen wallpaper. For example, raindrops now have a splash effect on the objects and persons in the image. Similarly, snowflakes fall in front and rear of persons appearing in the wallpaper.

Samsung Vision Core Update March 2024

This feature is only available on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. It will likely not be released to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 5 with the upcoming One UI 6.1 update. Samsung is expected to release the One UI 6.1 update to those devices starting tomorrow.

How to activate lock screen wallpaper weather effects on Galaxy S24?

You can access the Photo Ambient feature on your Galaxy S24 series phone by opening the Settings app, navigating to Advanced Features » Labs » Photo Ambient Wallpaper, and then enabling the toggle there. Since this is a Labs feature, weather effects might not work reliably all the time. However, we did not notice any major issues with the feature.

You can watch all the other wallpaper-related features that are available on One UI 6.1 in our detailed video below.
