The layers of personalization that different manufacturers have improved over the years allow us to configure certain aspects of our mobile that we could not before without having to resort to different applications. As is the case with Samsung with the arrival of the latest version of its software, One UI 3.0 , with which it continues to expand its domains. In addition, more and more new functionalities and possibilities are being added that lead us to completely modify the interface design of our mobile devices.
And not only that, but we also find different performance improvements, new configurations and customizations, such as the one that we are going to present today. We are talking about the alternative that allows us as users to customize the phone screen that appears when we are going to make any type of call. For this reason, we will explain how to change it and how you can further configure the panel of your Samsung terminal.
The novelty of One UI 3.0
There is no doubt that it is an increasingly widespread layer of software among the most recent models of the South Korean manufacturer. In addition, since it allows us to have an extra for personalization when making or receiving a call , it allows us to make different changes that we did not count for in version 2.0 of One UI.
This aesthetic change both in the background and in the distribution of the information that appears on the screen is an option that could not be enjoyed either on the Asian brand’s mobiles that had Android 10, since it began to be implemented for One UI 3. Since It is in the version of the interface of Samsung based on Android 11 where this customization is found.
In addition, there are more and more telephones of the brand that can already use it in Spain. This new version of the interface offers us various features, as well as different changes in some applications. And as we told you, one of the new functions is the possibility of customizing the phone screen when we make a call.
This means that those users who have a mobile from the South Korean manufacturer with Android 11 and One UI 3 will be able to customize the appearance of this panel, whether we make the call or receive it. For this reason, we will tell you how to add a different one to change the design of said panel.
Add a new background for calls
With this version of the layer that gives us many customization options, we can select the background design during calls . As well as changing its design, and all within the phone app of our mobile device itself, without having to resort to any type of third-party application.
In this case, the Background option will allow us the possibility of putting a photo or a video that serves as an animation while we are during a call. Best of all, the steps to modify this panel are simple and very easy to perform. First we must access the phone app of our Samsung smartphone. Once we are inside we will have to click on the three vertical points that will appear in the upper right part of the panel.
After this, you will have to click on the Settings option. When we are in this section, it will give us two options: Background and Design . Both options will appear at the end of the whole. As for the first option, it will allow us to choose the default view when we are making a call, that is, how we want the person’s name and phone number to be displayed.
On the contrary, the second option will allow us to establish the video or image among those that this customization layer brings by default. Even if you want to edit the video or image, it will leave us if we click on the icon that is shaped like scissors. When it is edited we will only have to click on Use as call background . By setting this, when we do it or make one on our Samsung mobile, that selected video or image will be displayed in the background.
Create your own wallpaper for calls
With the arrival of One UI 3 , the South Korean manufacturer allowed us not only to let us change the background of the main panel of the mobile or the one that appears when we have the mobile device locked. But, we can modify how we have previously explained the call fund of our Samsung. Best of all, it also offers us the possibility to choose an image or video that we have in our own gallery. In the case of a video, that selected multimedia element will be shown on the screen as an animation.
Extra customization for your Samsung
Once you’ve changed that background, there are also other ways to further customize your Samsung mobile device with One UI 3.0. With the aim of giving a different touch to our smartphone when we have tired of always seeing the same appearance. For this reason, we will explain three more ways to change the appearance of your smartphone.
Change the wallpaper
The first way to give another distinctive touch to the phones of the South Korean manufacturer is to change the interface of the panel. To get to this configuration they give us two possibilities to make the change. The first of them will be to enter the mobile settings and then access the Funds section that One UI will show you in the third block.
The second way that this layer of software offers us is to press and hold anywhere on the main panel of the terminal. After this, the option to edit the desktops will appear. When it appears, we must click again on the Fund option that will appear in the bottom row. In addition, in this section we are going to have several alternatives: the default of the mobile and the images in your gallery.
Play with Always on Display mode
Samsung mobiles that have OLED and AMOLED panels have the Always on Display functionality . This always-on mode is a mode with which I know that it shows a clock when we have the mobile panel off. And best of all, we can configure it to our style.
To do this, we have to enter Settings> Lock Screen . When we are inside, we will have to click on the Always on Display option and activate the switch that is deactivated by default in the smartphones of the South Korean brand. It even gives us to choose between three ways of seeing it, which can be always, only for ten seconds when pressing the screen, or directly at certain times that we can set ourselves. And not only that, but it will also let us change other aspects such as brightness or orientation.
Modify the layout of the home panel
To modify the design of the home panel, for this we have to go to the settings and enter the Home screen section. One of the first alternatives will be to change the configuration of the application drawer or it also offers us the possibility that all of them are always displayed on the desktops. Also within this section, we can choose to change the configuration of the grids that are on the desktops, folders and app screen. Also, keep in mind that the more grids we put in, the more apps will appear, although their icons will be smaller.
