Samsung has updated its PENUP drawing app for Galaxy phones and tablets. This update brings many new features that make drawing easier, more fun, and more creative for users.

The new version of the Samsung PENUP app, 3.9.22.23, adds more than 50 new brushes. These brushes can be downloaded from the app. With these brushes, users can draw in many different styles like soft sketches, thick lines, or detailed artwork. This gives more choices while drawing.

A new feature, Dual brush, has also been added. This allows users to use two brushes at the same time. It helps create special and unique effects in drawings.

Samsung has also made brush settings better. Now, if you tap a brush two times, you can open its settings. These settings are easier to understand. You can also see a preview of your changes while editing the brush.

There are also Export Draft and Import Draft features. This means you can save your unfinished drawing and open it on another Galaxy device. The app now also has a better selection tool, Auto Select. It can automatically find and select objects in your drawing. This makes editing faster and easier.

PENUP also now supports auto screen rotation. If you turn your phone sideways, the app can switch to landscape mode, as long as Auto Rotate is on. Now you can save and access your drawings on different devices using your Samsung account. This means your work stays updated everywhere.

This update makes PENUP simpler and more powerful. It gives users more tools and makes drawing smoother and easier. To get all these new features, users just need to update the PENUP app from the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates.

Some Samsung Galaxy Watch users are facing a problem with YouTube Music on Wear OS, mainly when they try to listen to downloaded songs offline. The issue mainly affects people who use their watch without keeping their phone connected, like during workouts, running, or traveling.

Usually, when a playlist is downloaded on a Galaxy Watch, it should play one song after another smoothly. But in this bug, the music often stops after the first song finishes. After that, the next songs do not play automatically, even though the playlist is fully downloaded on the watch.

The annoying part of the issue is that the playback buttons stop working properly. Options like Next song or other controls become greyed out, so users cannot skip or move forward in the playlist. The music app still shows the playlist, but it does not respond as expected.

This issue has been reported on different Galaxy Watch models, not just one specific version. That means it is likely a software problem rather than a hardware issue.

Some users have tried basic fixes like restarting the watch, clearing the app cache, or deleting and re-downloading songs. These steps sometimes help for a short time, but the problem usually comes back after a while.

A similar issue has also been seen on other smartwatches like the Pixel Watch, which suggests the bug may be related to the overall Wear OS system or the YouTube Music app itself, rather than just Samsung devices.

Right now, there is no permanent fix available. Google has not officially confirmed the issue or shared when it might be resolved. So users are currently relying on temporary solutions and waiting for an update to fix the problem.

Samsung Internet Browser may soon get a small but useful visual upgrade that makes its interface look more modern and stylish. A new design change has been found inside a test version of the browser, showing that Samsung is working on improving how the bottom toolbar looks.

In version v30.0.2.30, Assemble Debug found hidden code for a new “toolbar blur effect.” This feature is not available to users yet, but it can already be enabled in testing. The blur effect gives the bottom toolbar a soft, frosted-glass look instead of a flat background. It mainly affects the toolbar where buttons like back, forward, and home are placed.

The blur effect becomes more visible when the bookmark bar is placed at the bottom of the screen. In this setup, both the bookmark bar and the toolbar appear slightly blurred, making the interface look smoother and more layered.

However, if the bookmark bar is moved to the top of the screen, the blur effect does not appear. Instead, the bar changes its color to match the website being viewed, if the site supports that feature. This helps the browser blend better with different webpages.

Even with these changes, the main toolbar will stay fixed at the bottom of the screen so users can easily reach it with their thumb.

At the moment, this feature is only found in hidden code and is not active for regular users. It means the feature is still under development. There is no official release date yet, and it may arrive in a future update if Samsung decides to enable it.

The latest Bixby app brings new intelligence features to Samsung devices. The changes first appeared on the Galaxy S26 flagships. Now, even more devices are receiving it following the start of the One UI 8.5 update rollout.

Bixby has gained even more intelligence, with Samsung promoting more natural and intelligent conversation. The latest update also improves core functionality, offering you personalized settings control and usage guidance.

What’s new

The latest version focuses on improving everyday usability with a better understanding of conversational commands and personalized guidance.

With this update, users no longer need to remember exact feature names or complicated voice commands. Bixby can now better understand casual language and quickly find the right settings or actions based on what the user actually means.

Samsung is also making Bixby feel more like a real assistant during conversations. Users can speak naturally while switching between tasks, and Bixby can continue handling requests across multiple apps without needing repeated instructions.

The improvements suggest Samsung is continuing to push Bixby toward a more intelligent and context-aware experience.
