Samsung One UI 8.5: dark mode chaos prompts quick workarounds

Android Authority reports that Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update is triggering dark‑mode glitches in Google apps across Galaxy devices (including S25/S24), showing a mix of black, gray, and light-gray UI. The root cause appears to be a clash between Google’s Material You styling and Samsung’s updated color palette. Workarounds include using a forked Shizuku to revert colors or tweaking the Color Palette/Wallpaper settings, with a potential fix expected in a future update. Samsung has not issued an official statement yet; users can report the issue via the Members app.

Verge maps new homepage feedback into fix, explore, and pause buckets

The Verge explains that reader feedback on the new homepage is grouped into three buckets: Bucket 1 (fixes) for bugs and rough edges that have been addressed (e.g., scrollbar, Read More links, bottom-category reads); Bucket 2 (worth investigating) for ongoing questions like how the Latest feed is presented, dark mode, story dates in curated sets, marking read/unread, and personalization; and Bucket 3 (not right now) for ideas not currently being pursued, such as Free-to-Read/Subscriber Perks and major structural changes. They emphasize transparency, limited resources, and prioritization, and invite further feedback via comments, a feedback form, user research, or direct emails.
