Other added functionalities include the ability to delete wallpaper history in Wallpaper Studio and new notifications in Charging Assistant that inform about the charging status.

Vibration has now been enabled while the device is on Power Saving Mode, and the device has been updated to the September 2024 Android Security Patch for improved security.

This update fixes the following bugs: auto-rotation not working in some cloned apps and the Media Player Widget not playing music when switching from guest to the main user. It also makes sure that the Bluetooth tile will show proper information about the earbuds and screen flickering upon long-press of the power button at low battery levels is fixed.

Other fixes include the fix for the system crash brought on by the animation of windows; the display issue of the Atmosphere Wallpaper Effect shown on the lock screen was rectified; and so on.
