The majority of smartphone users around the world have shifted to online music streaming services. However, there are still some who prefer maintaining a personal collection of audio files on their device. For such people using Galaxy phones, Samsung offers the Samsung Music app, and now, the brand is rolling out an update to it.
The latest update for Samsung Music carries version 16.2.45 and brings two changes. First, “Partial changes to widget design.” Second, “Other bug fixes.” As for the widget redesign, the brand appears to have improved the visibility of interactive elements by making it slightly larger and adding more padding around the controls.
However, the update also removes the 3×1 widget layout, leaving only 2×2 and 4×1 options. Another notable change is that the remaining widget layouts can no longer be resized and now have fixed dimensions. You can check out the changes in the images below.
