Samsung is developing AI-powered Memory app for Galaxy phones

Now that Samsung has almost finished rolling out the One UI 9.0 update, all eyes are on the company’s next major update: One UI 9.5. Ahead of its announcement, we have discovered that the South Korean firm is developing a new Galaxy AI-powered app, and it is called Memory.

It is similar to Samsung’s own Collection app, which is currently limited to the Chinese market. Google’s Pixel Screenshots and OPPO’s Mind Space apps are similar to Memory. So, what does it do?

According to Memory app’s onboarding screens, the app lets you “Save memories from anywhere.” You can capture screenshots, record voice notes, import content from any other app, or even save a link or a piece of text. Once you save something, the app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate a title, summarize the content, add relevant tags, and group related items into collections.

In other words, Memory aims to make managing copied links/text, imported content, screenshots, and voice notes easier. More importantly, it uses AI to organize that content and provides additional context, making it easier to find and revisit ideas and information whenever you need it.

Memory can recognize when a screenshot contains a webpage and retrieve the original page’s link. So, when you save a screenshot of an article or website, you can use the app to revisit the original webpage without having to search for it manually.

When you paste a webpage link into Memory, the app automatically retrieves its title, generates a short description of the page, and extracts relevant information to create a structured entry. It also adds relevant tags, making the saved content easier to search.

You can also edit the generated title, mark an entry as a favourite, lock it, add it to a collection, or delete it.

You can use multiple ways to save content to the Memory app. You can either take screenshots by swiping down with three fingers simultaneously on the screen, record voice notes by pressing and holding the Volume Up and Side buttons together, import content from other apps through the Share sheet, or save links and text by copying and pasting them into the app.

When recording a voice note, Memory displays a voice-input interface with the prompt “Say what’s on your mind,” allowing you to dictate whatever you want to save. The app then analyses the recording and turns it into an organized memory, complete with a title, summary, and relevant tags.

At the moment, there is no information on when Samsung plans to release the app. However, we expect the company to introduce it alongside the One UI 9.5 update in the next few weeks.
