One UI 5.1.1 Features for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 devices
Multitasking
- Better app previews on the Recents screen
- The Recents screen now shows apps as they will appear after you open them. You can easily see if an app is opened in split screen, full screen, or as a pop-up.
- Easily switch from pop-up view to split screen
- Press and hold the handle at the top of the pop-up window, then drag the app to the side of the screen where you want it to be shown.
- Restore pop-ups snapped to the edge of the screen
- Drag an app in pop-up view to the edge of the screen to snap it to the edge and keep it out of the way. When you need it again, tap anywhere on the pop-up to bring it back to its previous location.
- Check minimized apps with the S Pen
- Hover your S Pen above a floating app icon to see a preview of how the app will appear when you open it.
Taskbar
- More recent apps
- You can now choose how many recently used apps to show on the taskbar (up to 4).
Quick Share
- Share with contacts
- You can now send files to your contacts anytime, even if they’re not near you.
- Share files privately
- Protect private content when you share it. You can set expiration dates for the files you send, cancel sharing at any time, and prevent recipients from saving or resharing.
Camera and Gallery
- More date and time styles for watermarks
- Customize the date and time separately with more style options to get the perfect look for your watermark.
- Enhanced remaster previews

Additional changes
- Drag and drop with two hands
