Samsung Adds 4 Galaxy AI Tools to Fold 7, Flip 7 in One UI 9 Beta 2

Q: How much of your personal data does the context-aware Now Nudge feature actually send to Samsung's cloud servers?

It is not publicly clear how much data Now Nudge sends to Samsung’s cloud, and Samsung’s product materials do not appear to quantify it. What Samsung has said, based on its broader Galaxy AI messaging, is that some AI features can run on-device while others may use cloud processing, with Knox-based protections and user-facing privacy controls. But the company has not, in the materials tied to this One UI 9 beta rollout, disclosed a technical breakdown for Now Nudge showing exactly what screen content, app context, metadata, or personal information is processed locally versus transmitted to Samsung servers. That matters because Now Nudge is explicitly described as analyzing what is on the screen and suggesting next actions, such as opening Calendar when a chat involves scheduling. Depending on implementation, that could involve sensitive context like message text, times, locations, or app activity. Without a published data-flow explanation, privacy policy update, or developer documentation specific to Now Nudge, users cannot independently verify the volume or categories of data sent off-device. So the practical answer is that Samsung has promised privacy safeguards, but has not publicly provided enough detail to say how much personal data Now Nudge sends to the cloud. Users who want certainty should wait for Samsung to publish feature-specific privacy documentation or review the permissions, Galaxy AI settings, and privacy notices in the final release.

One UI 9 beta 2 is rolling out in South Korea for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, bringing four newer Galaxy AI features from the Galaxy S26 and Fold 8 lines.
The additions are Call Brief, Custom Cards in Now Brief, Now Nudge and My FanCam, which add call context, scheduled personalized briefings, on-screen action suggestions and automatic video reframing.
Samsung also bundled bug fixes for Wi-Fi dropouts, Bixby Vision translation errors, Contacts crashes, gaming controller connection failures and a broken 15x video zoom option.
The update further fixes a Fold 7 issue that could leave the main display off after unfolding, and it arrives just one week after both foldables entered the Android 17-based beta program.
Samsung has already said the Fold 7 and Flip 7 beta will also cover the US, India and the UK, pointing to a broader tester rollout next.
