Samsung is actively working on the upcoming One UI 8.5 software. The company is already beta testing the skin, and a stable release is expected alongside the Galaxy S26 series, which you can now reserve through Samsung’s Galaxy Reserve Program. Now, a new leak reveals a powerful Galaxy AI tool in the One UI 8.5, called “Now Nudge.” The feature could transform everyday phone use by analyzing on-screen activity and suggesting helpful actions in real time.
One UI 8.5 to feature a new Galaxy AI-powered Now Nudge feature
The latest One UI 8.5 beta build carries a new feature called “Now Nudge.” It’s a tool designed to make the multi-tasking experience faster and more intuitive. It is powered by the company’s in-house Galaxy AI model. The AI first understands what is happening on the screen and then provides context-aware suggestions. For example, instead of manually switching between apps, users may receive prompts that help them complete tasks with fewer steps.
Early preview shows how the feature really works in practice. When filling out an online form, Now Nudge can suggest relevant details for each section. During a text conversation about an appointment, it may display an “Open Calendar” option. Clicking on the option will allow users to check availability instantly. The leak further suggests that this smart assistance is deeply integrated into the system. It helps One UI 8.5 feel more responsive and proactive in daily use.
It might improve the way users interact with their smartphones
According to a recent post shared by @thatjoshguy69 on X, the Now Nudge feature will support a wide range of tasks. These include mobility rental services such as ridesharing, flight-related actions, government services, location searches, medical information, phone functions, and even movie details. The list indicates that Samsung aims to cover many common scenarios where users typically switch between apps.
However, the leak may not represent the final scope. If optimized properly, Now Nudge could become one of the most practical additions in the latest software.
