4 One UI 7 feature similar to iOS 18

• Lock screen features: Samsung has introduced a new lock screen feature called “Lock Bar” and “Live Notifications” which replicates the functionalities of iOS Dynamic Island. The bar showcases live ongoing activities such as stopwatches, timers, music, and others, and users can expand it for additional controls. However, the placement of the lock bar is different from the iPhone's Dynamic Island.  Additionally, Samsung does not have third-party app support for Lock Bar and Live Notifications as of now. 
• App icon customisation: Apart from this, Samsung's One UI 7 has also copied the ability to hide the app names from the home screen for a more pleasant and declutter look from iOS 18. This year, Apple announced several home customisation features along with the ability for users to hide or show app names, now this feature will also be seen in upcoming Samsung devices.
