One UI 8 earthquake alerts outshine Google

Samsung’s latest One UI 8.0 software brings a powerful upgrade to its Earthquake Warnings feature, making it more advanced than Google’s version. According to a recent discovery by a tipster, the updated feature, version 1.0.07.0, offers a user-friendly design that feels seamless with Samsung’s interface, unlike the older version or Google’s offering. With One UI 8.0, users can adjust the seismic intensity level needed to trigger an alert, ensuring warnings match their preferences.

The feature also includes a history of past alerts, so users can review previous earthquake notifications. Additionally, it provides quick access to nearby emergency shelters and lets users set emergency contacts for fast communication during a crisis. While this improved version isn’t yet available in the public beta of One UI 8.0 for the Galaxy S25 series, it shows Samsung’s commitment to enhancing safety tools.

The new design and added options make it easier for users to stay informed and prepared during earthquakes, giving Samsung an edge over Google’s simpler alert system. Samsung’s focus on practical, customizable features in One UI 8.0 highlights its efforts to improve user experience, especially in critical situations. As the update rolls out, Galaxy users can look forward to a more reliable and tailored earthquake warning system.
