A new update has rolled in for the Samsung stock Calendar app and it brings a bunch of new features. The new features include improved drawing support, shared calendar management, as well as improved dark/light mode settings on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The new Samsung Calendar app was first announced on the Samsung Community forum in South Korea.

With the new update, you can draw any shape on the calendar and it will be converted to a proper shape. This is achieved when you long-press the drawing. Similar functionality is available in Samsung Notes. Users can set the dark/ light mode independently of the phone’s UI settings, using the Calendar app. It also displays your work profile calendar entries on a paired Galaxy Watch. It is unclear whether both Wear OS and Tizen smartwatches have such support.

The Calendar app can switch between dark and light modes depending on the smartphone’s theme. The Samsung Calendar update also allows users to create shared calendars which can be shared via simple links. The shared calendar option can be activated via Calendar Settings, then Calendar Management, and then, Create Shared Calendar. The user can edit permissions for existing shared calendars.
