One of the new features in Samsung’s latest beta is pen styles, including a concealing “tape,” for the Notes app. While this is limited to the One UI 9 beta on the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung has another S Pen-related update for a broader audience.
The company recently updated its PENUP drawing app, which is available for all Galaxy smartphones. The app offers a broader suite of tools than Samsung Notes, lets you use coloring stencils or actual images as references for sketches, and even lets you share them on social media or with the app’s community of users. Now, the update (via SamMobile) adds a set of new features, including new brushes, selection features, and more.
The PENUP app’s latest update to 3.9.22.23 comes with these changes, as highlighted by the changelog:
The update appears to be available to all Galaxy device owners using PENUP, with no direct ties to any specific One UI version. To get the latest version on your device, make sure you update the app from the Galaxy Store.
