- The One UI 8 Watch beta has released, and it brings new tile shapes.
- Many apps also support smaller tiles which can be stacked in pairs on a single screen.
- Most of these newly shaped tiles belong to Samsung apps, while other developers, including Google, continue to have circular ones.
The Galaxy Watch 8 series has already leaked ahead of its expected arrival, and it has a divisive design change. But with changes to its hardware, Samsung is also planning changes to the interface that runs on the Galaxy Watch. With the freshly released One UI 8 Watch beta for the Galaxy Watch 7, Samsung has brought a major shift to the interface that includes a new set of tiles.
Unlike circular ones in the previous versions of One UI Watch, the latest beta brings tiles shaped like rectangles with rounded corners (aka stadium shape). The change aligns with the rumored shift towards a squircle dial for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic.
