It's been several weeks since Samsung launched the One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy S25 series. The beta firmware gave us a look at some of the new features we can expect for Samsung's devices this year, including Now Nudge.

Powered by Galaxy AI, it analyzes what's on the screen in real time and suggests useful actions. A new leak highlights many tasks that Now Nudge will quickly help you out with.

An earlier leak had provided a video overview of how the Now Nudge feature is going to work. It relies on Galaxy AI to basically understand what's on your screen and then suggests useful actions and information so that you can get things done quickly.

For example, if you're filling out a form on a website, it will make suggestions relevant to each section. If you're texting with someone about an appointment, it will show the Open Calendar button so that you can quickly check your availability without having to launch the app manually.

However, it seems Now Nudge will actually be introduced in One UI 9.0, not One UI 8.5. Digging into leaked One UI 9.0 firmware for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, @thatjoshguy69 discovered a list of different tasks that Now Nudge can assist you with.

These include mobility rental, which may include ridesharing services, to flights, government services, location, medical information, phone, movies, and more.

The list probably isn't exhaustive and Samsung will likely add support for a lot more tasks by the time One UI 9.0 comes out. Perhaps some of them will even make it into One UI 8.5, though that remains to be seen.

In any case, it's great to see that this potentially very useful feature is being seriously strengthened so that when it does arrive, it offers incredible value to users right out of the gate.
