The Galaxy S25 devices are introducing new updates aimed at improving accessibility for users with visual impairments. One of the major updates is the addition of TalkBack 15 compatibility with braille displays that use HID (Human Interface Device) via Bluetooth. This update ensures that people who are blind or have low vision can use their braille displays without the need for additional steps, making the devices more inclusive and easier to navigate. The feedback from the community has played a key role in this update, and in the coming weeks, Galaxy S25 devices will also offer more detailed image descriptions, powered by Gemini models, further enhancing accessibility.
Another exciting update is the integration of Google Family Link with the Galaxy Watch7 LTE. This allows parents to set up and manage their child’s Galaxy Watch for Kids experience, using their own phone to approve contacts, track the watch’s location, manage apps, and even set up school time to limit distractions during school hours. This feature is designed to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their children stay connected and focused.
These updates, starting to roll out in the U.S. with support from major carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, show Samsung’s ongoing commitment to improving user experience and accessibility for both kids and adults alike.
