Galaxy S24 users are currently facing a frustrating issue with One UI 7, particularly with the new Now Bar feature. This feature was highly anticipated as it provides quick access to sports scores and other updates right on the lock screen, similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island. However, many users have reported difficulties with this function, particularly those using the One UI 7 beta version. While users have been eagerly awaiting the rollout of One UI 7, which is set to introduce Android 15 along with Samsung’s updated interface, the stability of this new feature seems to be compromised.
Though the stable rollout is expected soon, possibly in response to ongoing issues, some users may find their experience hindered by the Now Bar’s failure to display sports scores through Google’s integration. Reports indicate that the Google Sports feed is malfunctioning for numerous Galaxy S24 users, regardless of whether they have followed specific teams or have the feature activated in Discover. The exact origin of the problem remains unclear, but it appears that the fault may lie either with Google or Samsung. Nevertheless, given the situation, there may not be an urgent need for concern as it’s expected that the issue will be resolved by the time the stable version of One UI 7 is released.
The Now Bar utilizes artificial intelligence to curate sports updates based on the user’s Google activity and preferences. At this time, no workarounds are available for the bug, meaning affected users will need to remain patient until the next update arrives. Fortunately, the upcoming stable One UI 7 update should ideally rectify this inconvenient glitch, and a broader rollout is planned for other Galaxy devices soon after.
