This was the original edition of TouchWiz, released in 2008, with pre-introduction (trial) on the [[Samsung F480 Tocco|SGH-F480 (Tocco)]] phone.

===TouchWiz 2.0===
Line 62:
The third version of TouchWiz was renamed to TouchWiz Nature UX. It was released in 2012 and supported [[Android Ice Cream Sandwich]] (4.0). The [[Samsung Galaxy S III|Galaxy S III]], [[Samsung Galaxy Star|Galaxy Star]] and [[Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1|Galaxy Note 10.1]] were the first devices preloaded with this version, although a "lite" version was used beforehand on the [[Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0]]. The 2013 [[Samsung_Galaxy_S_II#Galaxy S II Plus – Model GT-I9105/P|Galaxy S2 "Plus" variant]] featured this user interface as well.
 
TouchWiz Nature UX contains more interactive elements than previous version, such as a water ripple effect on the lock screen, and "smart stay", a feature which uses [[eye tracking]] technology to determine if the user is still watching the screen. Users are able to set custom vibration patterns for phone calls and notifications.<ref>{{cite web |title=Samsung Galaxy S3 – Shortcuts & Tips [Mobile] // chipwreck |url=https://www.chipwreck.de/blog/2012/06/15/samsung-galaxy-s3-shortcuts-tips/ |access-date=18 June 2021 |date=2012-06-15 |archive-date=2023-02-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230216055116/https://www.chipwreck.de/blog/2012/06/15/samsung-galaxy-s3-shortcuts-tips/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The keyboard software is equipped with a [[clipboard manager]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-06-15|title=18 Samsung Galaxy S3 Tips and Tricks for Power Users|url=http://techsplurge.com/10451/15-samsung-galaxy-s3-tips-tricks/|access-date=2021-11-21|website=TechSplurge|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-11-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211121012752/http://techsplurge.com/10451/15-samsung-galaxy-s3-tips-tricks/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
A [[Multi-touch]] magnification feature and a [[picture-in-picture]] mode ("pop-up play") have been added to the precluded [[Media player software|video player]], as well as panning and zooming motion gestures in the gallery software.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=370iEOR82qQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/370iEOR82qQ |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title= Samsung GALAXY S3 - Tipps & Tricks [6] touch 2 scroll & zoom|website=[[YouTube]] |date=2012-06-06}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-07-04|title=How to use Pop Up Play on the Samsung Galaxy S3|url=https://www.technobezz.com/use-pop-play-samsung-galaxy-s3/|access-date=2021-04-10|website=Technobezz|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-04-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210410201042/https://www.technobezz.com/use-pop-play-samsung-galaxy-s3/|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
To complement the TouchWiz interface, and as a response to Apple's [[Siri]], this version introduced [[S Voice]], Samsung's [[Virtual assistant]].

Criticism has been aimed at the inability of the [[home screen]] and [[lock screen]] to work in horizontal display orientation.<ref name=phonedog-rotate>{{cite web |title=I'll take my home screen in portrait, please! |url=https://www.phonedog.com/2012/06/08/i-ll-take-my-home-screen-in-portrait-please |website=phonedog.com |language=en |date=8 June 2012 |access-date=22 October 2020 |archive-date=3 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200903204756/https://www.phonedog.com/2012/06/08/i-ll-take-my-home-screen-in-portrait-please |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=pocketnow-rotate>{{cite web |title=It's 2012, Why Won't My Home Screen Rotate? |url=http://pocketnow.com/2012/06/08/its-2012-why-wont-my-home-screen-rotate/ |website=Pocketnow |date=8 June 2012 |access-date=22 October 2020 |archive-date=9 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109052107/http://pocketnow.com/2012/06/08/its-2012-why-wont-my-home-screen-rotate |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
==== Premium suite upgrade ====
With the Android 4.1 update (pre-installed on the [[Samsung Galaxy Note II]]), Samsung delivered a "premium suite upgrade", whose improvements include a [[Split screen (computing)|split screen]] mode, making this the first mobile user interface to run more than one application simultaneously.
 
Other additions and accessibility improvements are "easy mode", a simplified home screen option with larger icons, "smart rotation", where the screen rotates after the orientation of the user's face detected through the front camera, a low-light shot mode, the ability to adjust the volume of each side of [[headphones]] separately, a "reader mode" for [[Samsung Internet]] (formerly known as "S Browser") with adjustable font size, "Page Buddy", which can detect the user's intended action such as opening the music player when plugging in earphones, and the ability to read the news feed from Facebook in particular directly from the lock screen well before common lock screen notifications were released with Android 5.0 "Lollipop".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/galaxy-s3-premium-suite-upgrade-starts-u-k-rollout/|title=Galaxy S3 Premium Suite upgrade starts U.K. rollout|first=Don|last=Reisinger|website=CNET|access-date=2021-07-13|archive-date=2021-07-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210713223243/https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/galaxy-s3-premium-suite-upgrade-starts-u-k-rollout/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/10/video-samsung-shows-off-premium-suite-upgrade-package-for-galaxy-s3/|title=Video: Samsung Shows Off Premium Suite Upgrade Package for Galaxy S3|website=www.droid-life.com|date=10 December 2012|access-date=13 July 2021|archive-date=13 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210713223758/https://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/10/video-samsung-shows-off-premium-suite-upgrade-package-for-galaxy-s3/|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== TouchWiz Nature UX 3.5===
This is a slightly modified version of TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0, released in 2014 for the [[Samsung Galaxy Note 4|Galaxy Note 4]], [[Samsung Galaxy Note Edge|Galaxy Note Edge]] and [[Samsung Galaxy A series|Galaxy A-series (2015)]]. Most of the changes made were minor, aesthetic ones, including an overhaul of the cluttered settings menu, the inclusion of quick setting shortcuts and centralization of the lock screen clock. However, the camera application was stripped down to its most basic features, removing features such as the [[Wi-Fi Direct]]-powered ''remote viewfinder'', nonetheless gaining an [[Autofocus|AF]]/[[Exposure (photography)#Automatic exposure|AE]] lock feature accessible through tapping and holding in the camera viewfinder.

This version of TouchWiz continued the design that was initially seen on the Galaxy S5, with slightly more rounded icons, but also incorporated Lollipop's additions and changes, such as making the notification [[Drop-down list|drop-down menu]] merely an overlay instead of a full-screen drawer and colouring it neon blue. TouchWiz Nature UX 4.0 also included a visual overhaul for the whole system, changing the black background in system apps to a white theme, similar to TouchWiz Nature UX 3.5 seen on the Note 4 & A series. The black theme had been in place since the original [[Samsung Galaxy S (2010 smartphone)|Galaxy S]], because it reduced battery consumption as Samsung mainly uses [[AMOLED]] display technology. It was changed because of a patent licensing deal with [[Google]], which required that the TouchWiz interface follow the design of "stock" Android more closely.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2014/02/24/google-has-strangled-the-innovation-out-of-the-samsung-galaxy-s5s-touchwiz-ui/#3805e4e557b7|title=Google Has Strangled The Innovation Out Of The Samsung Galaxy S5's TouchWiz UI|last=Spence|first=Ewan|work=Forbes|access-date=2017-03-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314155549/https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2014/02/24/google-has-strangled-the-innovation-out-of-the-samsung-galaxy-s5s-touchwiz-ui/#3805e4e557b7|archive-date=2017-03-14|url-status=live}}</ref>

===TouchWiz 5.0===
Line 132:
A new version of TouchWiz 5.0 was released in August 2015 along with the [[Samsung Galaxy Note 5|Galaxy Note 5]] and [[Samsung Galaxy S6|S6 Edge+]]. The new version features updated iconography, with stock apps now featuring "[[squircle]]" icons instead of freeform, and a re-added single-handed operation mode that was removed on the Galaxy S6 after being available on the S5. However, it is opened with a triple-press of the home button instead of a swiping gesture, lacks on-screen keys (navigation, volume controls, app/contact shortcuts) and only has one fixed size.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-09-25|title=How to use the Note 5's 'One-handed operation' mode|url=https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-galaxy-note-5s-one-handed-operation-mode|access-date=2020-07-17|website=Android Central|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170507192021/http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-galaxy-note-5s-one-handed-operation-mode|archive-date=2017-05-07|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
The camera user interface has undergone several changes as well. Shortcuts on the left pane are no longer customizable, and the settings are on a separate page rather than on top of an active viewfinder.<ref>https://www.arbandroid.com/2015/03/galaxy-s6-vs-galaxy-s5-touchwiz/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210819195343/https://www.arbandroid.com/2015/03/galaxy-s6-vs-galaxy-s5-touchwiz/ |date=2021-08-19 }} شاهدوا الفرق بين واجهة TouchWiz في هاتف Galaxy S6 و Galaxy S5</ref>
 
Mid-range and entry-level devices feature a version named "TouchWiz Essence 2.0". It is similar to TouchWiz 5.0 but icon shadows are not included along with or without Theme Support. It is comparatively lighter, faster and featured on devices such as the 2016 [[Samsung Galaxy A series]], [[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2015)|Galaxy A8]], [[Samsung Galaxy S5|Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo]], [[Samsung Galaxy Tab series|tablets]] and the [[Samsung Galaxy J series]] devices which run Android Lollipop. It also doesn't feature the Sparkling Bubbles lockscreen effect exclusive to [[Samsung Galaxy S6]] and the [[Samsung Galaxy Note 5]].
 
Galaxy S6 user reports suggest<!-- but do not confirm--> that the step-by-step frame navigation and still frame image extraction features have been removed from Samsung's precluded video player software.<ref>{{Cite web|title=How do you extract a photo or still frame from video on the galaxy s6? - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com|url=https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6/554437-how-do-you-extract-photo-still-frame-video-galaxy-s6.html|access-date=2020-07-18|website=forums.androidcentral.com|date=14 July 2015 |archive-date=2020-07-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200718005933/https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s6/554437-how-do-you-extract-photo-still-frame-video-galaxy-s6.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
===TouchWiz 6.0===
Line 143:
It features a redesigned notification drop-down and colour overhaul, replacing the original blue and green hue to white. This version also removed the weather while centring and enlarging the clock on the [[lock screen]], as well as bringing back the ability to customize the shortcuts on the lock screen. Icons are slightly modified with a flatter look, removing the shadows that featured previously. The Smart Manager was removed as an app, and was moved to a settings option instead.
 
On this version, Samsung also added [[accessibility]] options such as ''Show button shapes'', where buttons are outlined with a visible border and a shaded background to increase contrast from the background, and the ability change the [[Pixel density|display density]] setting, although this was initially only accessible through a third-party app as the setting was hidden by the system. An update to the [[Samsung Galaxy S7]] and S7 Edge made it official, allowing users to change it under the display settings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Galaxy S7 accessibility options you should know about |url=https://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s7-accessibility-options-you-should-know |website=Android Central |access-date=19 October 2020 |date=12 March 2016 |archive-date=19 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201019111718/https://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s7-accessibility-options-you-should-know |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
TouchWiz 6.0 also includes Google's additions to Android: Doze and App Standby to improve battery performance (although Samsung's own app optimization feature remains available, thus meaning there are two separate "app optimization" settings: one within the Smart Manager app, and the other within the battery usage screen), Now on Tap to quickly access the [[Virtual assistant]] [[Google Now]], and Permission Control to limit the permissions granted to a particular application.
