Samsung June 2026 Security Patch powers One UI 8.5 on Z Flip 6
Samsung June 2026 Security Patch arrived on Tashreef’s Z Flip 6 last week, and he used the One UI 8.5 update to change five settings right away. The new build makes the phone feel fresh by adding Quick Panel controls and a Private Album inside Gallery. For Galaxy users, the update changes how fast they can reach core tools and how they hide personal media.
Tashreef’s Z Flip 6 changes
Tashreef, a Samsung Galaxy user and author, said he changed five settings after installing One UI 8.5. That matters because the update does not just add new features; it gives him more control over the phone’s main controls the moment he starts using it.
The Quick Panel can now be customized by moving toggles around, swapping them out, and resizing them. Brightness and volume sliders can sit horizontally or flip to vertical. That lets a user reshape the panel around the way they actually hold and open the phone.
The stock editor also removes a hard limit from the panel. It lets users remove toggles and add more controls, including controls for third-party apps. Good Lock and the QuickStar module go further, letting users resize toggles beyond what the stock editor allows.

The media player now changes its size depending on whether something is playing. That creates a more compact panel when nothing is active and gives playback controls more space when music or video is running.
The Private Album keeps photos inside the Gallery app and hides them behind a fingerprint or passcode. To move items there, users long-press to select photos or videos, tap More, and choose Move to private album. That gives Galaxy owners a built-in place for private media without leaving Gallery.

The friction point is that One UI 8.5 gives more control, but it also adds more steps for people who want to use it well. The Quick Panel changes depend on the stock editor, and the deepest layout changes require Good Lock and QuickStar. Private media also still needs the manual move process before the fingerprint or passcode protection takes over.
For anyone who just installed the update on a Galaxy phone, the immediate question is not whether it adds features. It is which ones are worth changing first, because Tashreef’s own first move was to adjust five settings on his Z Flip 6 as soon as the update landed.
