Sports scores show up by default via the Now Bar in Samsung’s One UI 7 build, but tailoring those settings can be a bit of a pain. A new update to Samsung’s AOD makes that integration a little better with Now Bar and adds a guide to set up sports integration with Google.
The Now Bar might be one of the best features in One UI 7 simply because it breathes a little life into an otherwise AI-heavy update. The Now Bar acts as an alternative notification delivery system, sitting at the bottom of the screen when the AOD is on. Certain apps can show content here, like Google with sports scores and other data about the game.
In an update to Samsung’s AOD, Galaxy phones are getting a small change to how the Now Bar handles sports notifications (via SammyGuru). The changelog notes that the GUI has been improved. This likely means the way scores are presented in that space has been adjusted. This is a minor but welcome change. The changelog also mentions a change to how Google Sports settings are configured.
In the Now Bar settings, users can find a guide to set up sports integrations, like favorite teams and leagues. The hope is that Now Bar can be even more easily configured for users who want to use the Google Sports tie-in. The update further adds a new notification that simply lets users know when app notifications are turned off.
Samsung’s AOD update with Now Bar changes is available in the Galaxy Store. The update should be rolling out now to most users, though it may take some time for it to appear on your device.
