In an exciting update for smart home enthusiasts, Samsung has unveiled a significant redesign of its SmartThings app in version 1.8.51.30. This overhaul includes an enhanced Home tab and updated Devices tab, making it easier for users to control their smart devices and manage routines seamlessly. Following its initial rollout on iOS, the new version is now available for download on the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store for Android users.
The revamped Home tab now presents devices and routines in compact cards that are not only visually appealing but also functional. Users can quickly tap icons to turn devices on or off, or trigger routines. Additionally, cards can be resized and rearranged, allowing for a more personalized user experience.

In addition to these updates, Samsung is also integrating the functionality of its recently discontinued “Samsung Sound” app into SmartThings. This evolution aims to enhance the control of Samsung’s Wi-Fi-enabled speakers and soundbars directly from the SmartThings interface.
