The double-tap to turn off the screen feature has been improved, and now you can activate the flashlight from the lock screen. There’s also an option to block calls from virtual operators, along with a new Hide Apps feature that allows you to conceal apps as its name suggests. This update includes the April 2025 security patches.
The rollout is being conducted in phases, so it may take some time before it reaches all eligible devices.
