Samsung is reportedly making strides on One UI 8, its upcoming Android skin based on Android 16. As anticipation builds, early leaks suggest that the update will bring not only under-the-hood improvements but also refreshed system apps. Among these, the built-in Reminder app is expected to receive a notable overhaul. According to recent reports, One UI 8 could introduce a redesigned user interface for the app, aimed at improving usability and accessibility.
The tip comes from reliable source @theordysm, who shared early insights into the app’s changes. In One UI 8, the Reminder app is said to feature a brand-new home screen layout. Rather than tucking away important categories like “Today,” “Scheduled,” “Important,” “Place,” “No Alert,” and “Completed” within a side menu—as is currently done in One UI 7—these options will reportedly be visible directly on the main interface. This redesign seems to prioritize faster access to key reminder categories, making the app more intuitive for users.
Additional subtle but functional UI changes have also been spotted. The “Add Reminder” text field now features the “+” icon inside the field itself, aligned to the left. Meanwhile, a new microphone icon has been added to the right of the field, streamlining the interface for users who prefer voice input. Previously, both icons were positioned outside the text box, requiring more interaction to create a reminder. These updates suggest a focus on minimizing steps and maximizing convenience in everyday use.
It’s important to note, however, that these changes have been identified in an early development build of One UI 8. As with any pre-release software, features and layouts may be refined or removed altogether before the final version rolls out. Still, the early glimpse into Samsung’s design direction points toward a cleaner, more efficient user experience—especially for those who rely on the Reminder app for task management.
