Samsung Free becomes Samsung News

Samsung Free was a feature that arrived with One UI 3 in late 2020 and was first pre-installed in Galaxy S21 flagships. The platform is essentially a competitor to Google Discover, bringing free content to watch, listen, read, and play with just a swipe across the home screen.

The feature is being rebranded as Samsung News, SamMobile reported. It will focus on news content, as the name suggests, and ditch the Watch and Play tabs.

Samsung News will make it easy for users to find news on their phone and will only have Read and Listen tabs. Samsung will still offer free content through its TV Plus and Game Launcher apps – they’re just moving away from Free.

Samsung Free will become Samsung News with version 6.0.1, which will be gradually rolled out to users starting April 18. Some users turn off the media page from the home screen, and they will hardly feel the change, because the Samsung Free/News app may also be hidden through the home screen settings.
