Galaxy S25’s One UI 8 Beta 4 changelog explained — here’s what’s new

A major addition in this beta is the Samsung IMS Service emergency update feature. This allows Galaxy devices to receive on-the-fly updates for HD voice, video calling, and enhanced messaging (RCS). You might see a notification or pop-up prompting for a restart consent when testing this feature. Samsung DeX users can also now enjoy full-screen switching while watching videos, improving the multitasking experience.

Besides these additions, One UI 8 Beta 4 focuses on squashing lingering bugs from earlier versions. Samsung has fixed issues with Galaxy AI reply suggestions for smooth functioning. The company also patched bugs that caused Bixby Routine commands to fail to trigger via voice.

Other fixes include a display issue in the Quick Launch icon area on the lock screen, errors when editing iNavi dashcam videos in Gallery, random ‘Fingerprint sensor not responding’ messagse on the lock screen, outgoing calls failing when using Swipe to Call with TalkBack enabled, and flickering issues with vertical/horizontal level indicator when switching between front and rear cameras.

This update may contain many more minor bug fixes and stability optimizations. There’s growing speculation that Beta 4 might be the final release before One UI 8 hits stable channels for the Galaxy S25 series. The extensive list of bug fixes suggests the software is nearly ready for prime time. We’ll keep you posted.
