[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] CandyPlus announced on the 17th that it will expand its filter service through Samsung Electronics' Galaxy One UI 5.0 update.


CandyPlus began releasing its Android version in November 2013 and has surpassed 280 million global downloads. It has currently established the Angola ecosystem based on its own members. Additionally, in 2015, it signed a partnership with Samsung Electronics to supply camera filters, providing camera filters included in the default Samsung Galaxy camera.


With the Galaxy One UI 5.0 update, Samsung Electronics has made it easier for users to access the Filter Store from the default camera. Previously, users had to press the 'Effects' button at the top right and then scroll to the end to find the 'Filter Store' entry button. After the update, simply pressing the 'Effects' button at the top right immediately displays the 'Filter Store' entry button.


A CandyPlus representative stated, "Through the Galaxy One UI 5.0 update, approximately 1.1 billion Galaxy users now have easier access to the filters provided by CandyPlus. Therefore, we expect a significant increase in visits and downloads to the Filter Store from users who were previously unaware of its existence, leading to increased revenue and traffic."



Meanwhile, the Angola (AGLA) ecosystem is a blockchain ecosystem designed with the goal of NFTs in daily life and includes the Take To Earn service, which rewards users for taking photos using CandyPlus.
