Samsung One UI 9.5 Memory app gathers screenshots and notes with AI

Samsung prepares a Memory app for One UI 9.5

Samsung looks set to add a new Galaxy AI-powered app called Memory in One UI 9.5, according to Engadget, which cites onboarding screens found by SamMobile. The app is designed to pull together scattered information from across a Galaxy phone into one searchable place.

Memory works in a similar way to Google's Pixel Screenshots, and echoes Samsung's own Collection app, which is currently limited to the Chinese market. In effect, it is a personal archive of activity on the device.

What the Memory app can do

The onboarding screens indicate that Memory can gather screenshots, voice notes, links and text. AI is said to generate titles, summaries and tags for saved items, and to group related pieces of content into collections.

The app can reportedly detect a webpage inside a screenshot and extract the link. Users appear able to reorganise or delete items, edit AI-generated titles and mark content as a favourite.

Manual additions also seem possible. SamMobile's screenshots suggest content can be imported from other apps through the share sheet, while links and text can be pasted in and voice notes recorded directly in the app.

Privacy and control options

According to the screenshots SamMobile shared, there appears to be an option to handle Memory's AI processing entirely on the device. On-device processing means the analysis of saved content happens on the phone rather than in the cloud.

It also looks possible to disable the app altogether. Engadget notes it remains unclear whether Memory will be switched on by default or require users to opt in.

When to expect it

A beta of One UI 9.5 is expected soon. For comparison, the One UI 8.5 beta appeared in early December 2025.

The full version of One UI 9.5 is likely to launch alongside the Galaxy S27 lineup, which Engadget expects in early 2027. Anyone curious about Memory may therefore be able to try it within the next few weeks, though timings are not confirmed.

Why it matters

Phone makers are increasingly using AI to combine information spread across many apps and services. Apple does this with Siri AI, and Google does so on Android. Memory would bring a comparable approach to Samsung's Galaxy devices.

For users, the appeal is simple: instead of hunting through a camera roll or notes app for a screenshot taken weeks ago, the phone itself would find and organise it. Whether that convenience outweighs privacy concerns may depend on how Samsung handles defaults and on-device processing.
