Samsung has released a new update for its Home Up app, addressing several issues users experienced with One UI 7’s home screen and customization features. The update aims to resolve problems ranging from app crashes and layout glitches to inconsistencies with DIY customization settings.
One UI 7, Samsung’s latest Android skin, introduced several new features and design changes. However, some users reported problems with the home screen’s functionality, particularly after customizing their layouts or using the Home Up app for further personalization. These issues included app icons disappearing, home screen layouts resetting unexpectedly, and crashes when attempting to edit widgets or themes.
The Home Up app itself, designed to offer deeper control over home screen elements, also experienced compatibility issues with One UI 7. Users reported difficulties saving custom themes, applying icon packs, and adjusting grid sizes. Some even reported the app crashing frequently, making it difficult to use.
Samsung acknowledged these problems and worked on a solution. The new Home Up update aims to provide stability and fix the reported bugs. The update addresses app crashes, resolves layout inconsistencies, and ensures proper functionality of DIY customization features within One UI 7.
Users who encountered these issues are encouraged to update their Home Up app to the latest version. The update is available through the Galaxy Store. To update, users can open the Galaxy Store app, search for “Home Up,” and select the update option if available.

Samsung’s quick response to user feedback with this update demonstrates its commitment to improving the One UI experience.
