Samsung's One Hand Operation+ Update Brings AI Select to Your Fingertips

Samsung continues to refine its mobile experience with the latest update to One Hand Operation+, version 7.4.19. This update introduces a game-changing feature for Galaxy users running One UI 6.1.1 or later - the ability to access AI Select through customizable gestures.

What’s New in One Hand Operation+ 7.4.19

The standout addition in this update is support for the AI Select action. For those unfamiliar, AI Select is Samsung’s intelligent text and image recognition tool that allows users to quickly extract and interact with on-screen content. Now, Galaxy owners can assign AI Select to a swipe gesture, making this powerful feature more accessible than ever.

Other improvements in version 7.4.19 include:

  • Fixed an issue with gesture angle settings not working properly
  • Resolved a bug affecting the “Previous app” function
  • General stability enhancements and bug fixes

How to Use AI Select with One Hand Operation+

To take advantage of this new functionality:

Step 1: Ensure your Galaxy device is running One UI 6.1.1 or later.

Step 2: Update One Hand Operation+ to version 7.4.19 through the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store.

Step 3: Open the One Hand Operation+ app and tap on one of the gesture handles (left or right side).

Step 4: Choose a gesture type (short swipe, long swipe, etc.) and select “AI Select” from the list of available actions.

Step 5: Customize the gesture angle and other settings to your liking.

Now, you can trigger AI Select with a simple swipe gesture from the edge of your screen.

Compatibility and Availability

It’s important to note that this update doesn’t bring AI Select to devices that don’t already have the feature. The new gesture support is only available on Galaxy phones and tablets running One UI 6.1.1 or later, which currently includes the Galaxy S24 series and select other recent flagship models.

The rollout of version 7.4.19 appears to be gradual, so don’t worry if you don’t see the update immediately. Keep checking the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store for the latest version.

Why One Hand Operation+ Matters

One Hand Operation+ is part of Samsung’s Good Lock suite of customization tools. However, it stands out as an individually downloadable app, making it accessible even in regions where the full Good Lock package isn’t available.

This app is particularly valuable for users of larger Galaxy devices, as it allows for easier one-handed navigation and quick access to frequently used functions. The addition of AI Select to the gesture repertoire further solidifies One Hand Operation+ as an essential tool for power users looking to maximize their productivity and device interaction.

Troubleshooting Update Issues

Some users have reported not seeing the new AI Select option after updating. If you encounter this problem:

  1. Verify your device is running One UI 6.1.1 or later.
  2. Check that you’ve actually received version 7.4.19 (Settings > Apps > One Hand Operation+ > About).
  3. Try force-stopping the app and clearing its cache.
  4. If issues persist, uninstall and reinstall the app from the official store.

Samsung’s commitment to refining the user experience shines through with this One Hand Operation+ update. By bringing AI Select to the fingertips of Galaxy users, the company continues to blur the lines between powerful functionality and intuitive usability.
