Samsung is already working on One UI 9, the next update for Galaxy phones, and early leaks show it will bring improvements for people who need extra help using their devices. The company is testing the update internally, and some new features have been spotted in the code.

The latest codes spotted by Android Authority reveal that One UI 9 will bring exciting changes to the accessibility features. One of which is the keyboard support. Users will be able to control the on-screen mouse with a keyboard more easily.

You can now adjust the cursor speed and even use the numeric keypad as extra controls. A new keyboard shortcut will also let you turn accessibility features on or off without touching your phone. It makes it simpler to use your device in the way that works best for you.

Also, Samsung is also making some existing features easier to find. Like, the option to change swipe gestures to single taps will now be at the top of the Interaction and Dexterity menu, instead of being hidden in the Assistant menu.

One UI 9 reportedly includes the Text Spotlight feature, which makes text bigger and easier to read, is getting improvements too. You can change the size, colors, and other settings to make reading more comfortable.

These updates are part of a “What’s new” screen that will show One UI 9 users all the new accessibility options. While Android 17, which One UI 9 is based on, won’t be finalized until later this year, it’s clear Samsung is planning ahead for users of all abilities.

Even if some features are updates to old ones, these changes show Samsung wants to make Galaxy phones easier and more flexible for everyone. It’s exciting to see the company focusing on tools that help users navigate their devices in ways that suit them best. Stay tuned for more information.
