Share

Samsung recently introduced OneUI 6.0 with many new changes and advancements over OneUI 5.1. The new iteration based on Android 14 adds much-awaited Chromecast Support for Samsung’s Smart View feature. Similar support for Google Cast was part of OneUI 5.1, but it was buried under a hidden menu by default. This time, the new feature seems to be openly available for everyone using OneUI 6.0 on their devices.
