ClockFace Just Got Better on One UI 8 — Update Rolling Out

Samsung has rolled out an update for its ClockFace app, officially introducing One UI 8 support. While the app already worked on One UI 8, the latest release addresses some minor compatibility issues. Version 3.4.00.4 of ClockFace also brings a couple of noteworthy improvements for users who love customizing their lock screen and Always-On Display clocks.

ClockFace for One UI 8 rolls out with two key changes

The One UI 8 version of Samsung’s ClockFace app, a Good Lock module for customizing the lock screen clock, enhances some existing clock styles with subtle visual tweaks. While Samsung hasn’t detailed exactly which designs were updated, you may notice minor refinements in layout, spacing, or animation for a refreshed look.

Additionally, the app now includes a built-in exception to Android’s battery optimization settings. This should help ClockFace function more reliably, especially when applying custom clock styles without being restricted by power-saving features. Of course, this could draw more power, affecting the battery life. But it’s a great addition for anyone not concerned about the battery life and wanting flawless clock customizations.

This update is only available for Galaxy devices running One UI 8, so most Galaxy users won’t see it anytime soon. So far, One UI 8 is officially available on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE. Additionally, a beta version is available for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra in select markets. Samsung is gearing up to widely roll out its Android 16-based update for eligible Galaxy devices starting later this month.

If you use Good Lock to personalize your Galaxy device, you’ll love this update. Besides ClockFace, One UI 8 brings major functional upgrades and new features to several other modules, including Home Up, LockStar, NavStar, Theme Park, MultiStar, Routines+, and more. Some Good Lock modules are yet to receive their One UI 8 updates.
