Samsung‘s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are packed with exciting new features. The phones offer a refreshed design, more power, and enhanced AI capabilities. They are also the first phones to ship with the stable version of One UI 8, Samsung’s latest software. But for some owners, this new software has come with a frustrating and potentially serious bug. The One UI 8 bug affects a critical aspect of your smartphone: notifications while on DND.
The issue revolves around the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature, a key tool for silencing your phone without missing an emergency call or important message. When you enable DND, you can usually set exceptions, like allowing calls from your family or notifications from essential apps. The problem? Users on the new foldable phones have discovered that their customized DND preferences are automatically resetting.
A DND bug in One UI 8 can reset your exception settings for notifications
This means that if you set your phone to only allow calls from a specific contact while you sleep, those settings might mysteriously disappear by the morning. The phone then defaults to silencing everything. So, you could easily miss a critical notification or a call you were expecting.
It’s undoubtedly a frustrating situation. After all, many people rely on this feature daily to strike a balance between getting some peace and staying connected. The DND bug has been circulating on user forums, and it seems to affect the stable version of One UI 8 that came pre-installed on the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.
The good news is that Samsung appears to be aware of the problem. A recent beta update for the Galaxy S25 series, which is also testing One UI 8.0, reportedly includes a fix for this exact issue. However, that patch has yet to roll out to the stable version on the new foldable phones. For now, owners of the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 should be extra careful and double-check their DND settings often. Hopefully, Samsung will push an official update to these devices soon to fix this bug once and for all.
