Tips & How-to

Header - Did you know?

Did you know that with One UI 8.5, your Galaxy can transform the chaos of notifications into a smart, tidy summary? You wake up in the morning or step out of a long meeting to find dozens of messages piling up in your group chats. Instead of wasting time scrolling endlessly to figure out what’s happened, you can now let Galaxy AI do the work for you thanks to the new Notification highlights menu.

This amazing feature processes data entirely on your smartphone (On-Device), ensuring maximum privacy, and is divided into two powerful tools:

Prioritise notifications: Artificial intelligence learns to recognise the most relevant messages and places them at the top of the list. This way, an urgent message will never be buried under dozens of less important notifications.

Summarise notifications: The real magic for chats. By analysing your notification history from the last 24 hours, the AI generates a short, concise text that summarises the entire conversation. At a glance, you’ll immediately know the gist of the conversation!

​A quick tip: The AI needs power to work. If your battery is running low or you’ve enabled Power Saving mode, summaries will be paused to extend your phone’s battery life.

 

​How to enable and customise the experience:
