Samsung Galaxy Owners Should Enable 5 AI Features, Including On-Device Notification Highlights
3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Aug 16
Summary
Five Galaxy AI tools stand out as worth turning on now: Now Brief, Call Assist, Health Assist, Writing Assist and Notification highlights.
Notification highlights is the newest of the group, arriving for some older devices in a June 2026 update after debuting on the Galaxy S26, and Samsung says its summaries can run on-device for privacy.
Call Assist tackles spam by screening callers with AI, showing a live transcript and letting users jump in or send typed replies, while Writing Assist mainly helps with quick grammar fixes and suggested responses.
Now Brief has expanded well beyond its early basic cards, adding support for items such as Samsung Health, smart-home updates, tasks and parking reminders, with more customization expected in a future update.
The recommendation reflects a broader shift in sentiment around Galaxy AI: features once seen as gimmicks have become more useful in daily workflows, even as some tools remain optional and accuracy varies in areas like health guidance.
