Stable Samsung Internet app updated with autoplay video control and more
Samsung has pushed an update for the Samsung Internet app today, bringing the new features from the latest beta release to the stable version of the browser. The highlight of the update is the ability to prevent one of the most annoying aspects of the modern web: autoplaying videos. You also get some smaller new functionality, such as being able to pause and resume downloading of images when using the Save all images on this page option (which shows up when you tap and hold on any image in a website).
The Allow autoplay videos toggle in the Useful features section, once disabled, stops videos from autoplaying on every site that you visit. The beta version of the app also disabled GIFs from playing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the stable version. Other new features in the update include a QR code reader (also accessible from the Useful features section), a notification manager (in the Sites and downloads section of the app settings) that collects all notifications sent by the browser even after they’ve been dismissed from the notification shade, and the ability to rename shortcuts to websites before placing them on the home screen.
The new Samsung Internet update — to version 9.4.00.45 — is only available on Google Play at the moment, but owners of Galaxy devices should see the update on the Galaxy Store sooner or later. You can also download the newest version of the app from our APK database and install it on your device manually if you don’t see the update on either app store yet.

look like video assistant is never coming back
How QR code reader work in Samsung Internet ?
Its to the right of the address bar after its activated in settings
Just have update available.
But why on tablet it use phone UI.
I do not like phone UI on tablet
I cannot see any setting can set
Report this to Samsung.
Still nothing for me in the UK. Not on the play store or galaxy store.
“You can also download the newest version of the app from our APK database and install it on your device manually if you don’t see the update on either app store yet.”
It’s very good. I’ve been persisting with the beta version for months and it’s good to get this at last. The dark mode and design with the settings on the bottom is very good and in keeping with One UI. Possibly they might have tried the address bar at the bottom too, it would be convenient, however thinking about it, it would not be pleasing to the eye to have it stuck on the bottom of the page you’re reading, particularly when scrolling down. It would look amateurish and badly designed.
Nice to see the return of the bar code scanner. I find it really inconvient having to open up optical Reader(note5 7.0) just for that
Samsung didn’t design this browser to follow the OneUI design language. Also, they need to bring the address bar down for easy access in this era of long and tall phones.
I think you’re wrong. I just commented exactly opposite. Lol. It’s definitely following One UI, all the settings are at the bottom! I thought about the address bar but I think it would look absolutely terrible. Scrolling down a long webpage with an address bar at the bottom will look ridiculous in my opinion. I think they have generally found the right balance here.
Lol wonderfull memories of pocket ie7
😂
I’m totally frustrated with my m20 software. The apk is showing “App not installed” , showing “not compatible with your phone” on play store & the update is not available on Galaxy apps. I hope they release it for m series soon.
Not yet available on my both device
Google play store
I read it
But play store on my both device last update was 19 may 2019
Got the updates on my s10 and s8
Lol that seems to be the case if its a non-US variant or older os version than the current devices for sale
Best thing ever! I was very annoying on sammobile site playing videos and distributing my music
