With OneUI 5, Samsung further tweaked stacked widgets. Unlike its previous iteration, you can now drag and drop a similar sized widget onto another widget. Cool, right?

3. Extract text from photo like a pro
Extract text from photos is one of the clever tricks of Samsung One UI 5 to quickly capture text instead of typing it. This new feature is similar to Live Text on iOS. You don't need to look at a photo and write the text. Instead, you can click on the image and extract text from it.
Next time you get an image with lots of text, open it in your phone's gallery and you'll see a T icon in the lower right corner. Touch it, then touch the text on the screen. Your phone will automatically highlight the text in the photo.
