Operating system news
Among the new features that we find in the new version of Samsung’s operating system are changes in notifications, shortcuts, profiles…
One of the best changes will be the profile creation when using the television, in the same way we do in applications like Netflix or Disney+. Each user will be able to have a personalized profile with the configuration that interests them and thus access different applications, accounts, the tones they need, the settings they want or the order of the applications and menus so that each user can use the TV in the same room. most comfortable way possible and adapting to the tastes of each user.
But it will not be the only change in this operating system update, there will be more. For example, users could access Microsoft 365 programs and use the television to read all types of files or even write them, although this is usually something unusual, but Samsung would give us this option of converting the TV into a computer in case we need it at a specific time.
There will also be a general redesign. They would change the home screen shortcuts and are expected to appear on the left side of the television. But the redesign would also reach other sections and the Tizen categories would be separated into different tabs, making access more comfortable and cleaner than until now with three tabs that will be: Discover, Live and Apps.
There will also be, according to the aforementioned media, a new notification system. Daily+ is the new notification option for Samsung Smart TVs and will be within a hub from where we can not only check pending messages, but also control all the home automation devices that we have linked to the television in our home.
