Samsung Tests AI Notification Summaries in Leaked One UI 8.5 Build

A leaked build exposes the feature’s UI, leaving it inactive with processing location still unclear.

Overview

  • Early firmware for the Galaxy S25 Ultra shows a pop-up tutorial and a dedicated settings page for notification summaries.
  • The feature does not work in the leak, and the Manage apps control currently lists every installed app without letting users remove any.
  • Coverage conflicts on where data is processed, with reports citing Google Cloud while firmware text claims on‑device handling and that messages are never sent to Google.
  • The tool is described as summarizing long messages and group conversations, with indications it may focus on messaging apps based on Android 16 work seen earlier this year.
  • Industry reporting expects One UI 8.5, including this feature, to debut with the Galaxy S26 early next year as part of Samsung’s broader Galaxy AI expansion, drawing comparisons to Apple’s earlier, sometimes error‑prone implementation.
