Improved Modes and Routines
With One UI 5.1, Routines — a function that lets you create a specific series of actions that your phone will trigger based on your activities — can now control Quick Share and touch sensitivity and alter the ringtone and the style of the font. Also, with the latest version of One UI, you can set specific wallpapers on the lock and home screens, which will change depending on your current activities. This lets you set a wallpaper for work and another for your workout.
Bixby Text Call is now available in English
One UI 5.1 also now lets you use Bixby Text Call in English. This function was added with One UI 5.0, but you could use it only if you speak Korean. In case you are not familiar with what Bixby Text Call is, this is a feature that lets you answer calls automatically. It also converts the words of the caller into text and lets you reply via a text message, which is then read aloud by an automated voice.
