Samsung Rolls Out SmartThings Redesign on iOS First
Samsung's SmartThings app gets a major redesign on iOS with version 1.7.51, including a refreshed Home tab and Routine Insights, while Android users wait.
Samsung has begun rolling out a major redesign of its SmartThings app on iOS, releasing version 1.7.51. The update brings a refreshed Home tab, more compact device cards, and faster controls, according to androidauthority.com.
The redesigned Home tab is meant to make it quicker to see and manage connected devices, with the more compact cards fitting more devices on screen. Samsung says the controls themselves are also faster.
The update also adds Routine Insights, a feature that surfaces the three most frequently used routines along with their recent activity, so users can see which automations are actually running.
The redesign is rolling out on iOS first. Galaxy and other Android users are still waiting for the same update, with no release date given for their platform.
Background
In early August, an early look at the redesign was obtained. Samsung's One UI redesign had already been applied to several native apps, but SmartThings had largely been left behind until now.
