Samsung Tests AI Notification Summaries in One UI 8.5 Leak

Leaked firmware shows Samsung trialing notification recaps with unresolved questions about Google’s role.

Overview

  • An early One UI 8.5 build on a Galaxy S25 Ultra reveals a pop-up and settings page for summarizing long messages and group chats.
  • The feature is not yet functional in the leak, and the exclusion list defaults to every installed app with no way to remove entries.
  • Reports point to Google’s AI tooling or Google Cloud powering the summaries, but some on-screen text claims on‑device processing and says messages aren’t sent to Google.
  • Outlets expect One UI 8.5, including this feature, to debut with the Galaxy S26 lineup early next year, though Samsung has not confirmed timing.
  • Coverage notes Apple’s similar summaries faced accuracy problems that led to limits for certain alerts, shaping expectations for Samsung’s rollout.
