Changes to the appearance of widgets and app icons

Added labels to Widgets
In prior One UI versions, widgets and apps placed side by side may have looked misaligned due to the absence of labels on widgets. The new update introduces labels for widgets, creating a more polished and neatly aligned appearance next to app icons. If you prefer to display widgets without labels, follow the steps below to disable them.

Turning labels on and off for both Apps and Widgets

Step 1. Open Settings > Tap Home screen.

Step 2. Tap App and widget style.

Step 3. Tap the switches to enable App labels and Widget labels.

Notes:

To prevent certain labels from being cut off and creating a cluttered appearance, the addition of labels does not apply to widgets from third-party apps.
The space occupied by the labels reduces the overall height of the widget, sometimes limiting the content displayed.
App labels must be turned on in order to enable Widget labels.

Improved recommended widget list
Now you can preview various formats of selected widgets at once, making it easier to choose the best fit for your chosen layout.
