Samsung’s Memory app takes on one of Google Pixel’s cleverest features

Samsung is working on a new AI-powered app called Memory that could make it much easier to find information you’ve saved on your phone, taking a familiar idea from Google’s Pixel Screenshots and giving it a few extra tricks.

The app has appeared in an early version of One UI 9.5, with screenshots shared by SammyGuru showing how it collects and organises everything from screenshots to voice notes. It appears to be based on Samsung’s existing Collection app, which is currently available in China, but could bring similar functionality to Galaxy users elsewhere.

Like Google’s Pixel Screenshots, Memory uses AI to make saved content easier to find later. Rather than leaving screenshots buried in your gallery, the app automatically generates titles, descriptions and tags to help identify what’s in them.

That could come in handy when you’re trying to find a booking confirmation, an address or a product you spotted online weeks ago, without having to remember exactly when you saved it.

Where Samsung’s approach gets more interesting is how information can be added.

According to SammyGuru, users can save content directly from other apps through Android’s Share menu, capture screenshots with a three-finger swipe or record voice notes by pressing the volume up and side buttons together. That makes Memory more than somewhere to dump screenshots, particularly if you regularly save bits of information from different apps throughout the day.

The app also keeps a link to the original source, allowing users to jump back to the app where something was saved.

It’s a small detail, but potentially one of the more useful features, especially when a screenshot alone doesn’t provide enough context. Having AI organise everything in the background should also make the collection easier to search as it grows.

There are still a few questions about how widely Samsung plans to make Memory available. The three-finger screenshot gesture reportedly requires One UI 9.5, although the rest of the app doesn’t appear to have any obvious hardware restrictions.

It’s also unclear whether Memory will be available across supported Galaxy devices or reserved for newer models.

Another unknown is whether Samsung will include Memory as a free feature or place it behind a Galaxy AI subscription. That could make quite a difference to its appeal, particularly when Google already offers similar functionality through Pixel Screenshots without a separate subscription.

Samsung hasn’t officially announced Memory or confirmed when it might launch. Still, the early look suggests the company is taking Google’s screenshot-organising idea a little further, with voice notes, app sharing and source links making it potentially useful for more than just finding old pictures.
