HarmonyOS 4.0 features and improvements

HarmonyOS 4.0 brings several notable changes, including rich theme templates and stylized layout design. You’ll be able to choose the colors of your app icons and set emoji wallpapers and home screens by selecting your favorite emoji.

It will feature help you to better manage your notifications, by clustering them together and sorting them by importance. The notifications of the same application are now aggregated into dynamic cards so that you can see more information about each notification without having to open it.

HarmonyOS 4.0 also allows you to identify text and images by double-clicking, then long-pressing to select them. You can then quickly drag them to the Super Transfer Station for temporary storage, preview, and batch sharing. This makes it more efficient and convenient to collect content and share it across devices.
