Samsung notes that the built-in Object Eraser functionality from its Gallery app is being upgraded on the Galaxy S10 and newer devices with the option to remove shadows and reflections, but that’s something we’vealready started to see happening. The One UI 4.1 update will also improve photo sharing by automatically cropping images and screenshots to remove unwanted sections. Additionally, Quick Share improvements promise to make it easy to share multiple media files with nearby Galaxy users.
As another part of the update, the Galaxy keyboard will gain deeper Grammarly integration and offer improved suggestions, better typo detection, and more. Eligible Galaxy users can also pick up 90 days of Grammarly Premium for free.
