Essentially, you could set up a card to appear on cue and even initiate a particular app for you.
Key points to note
– Currently, Brief was seen as too inflexible, but Samsung is seemingly incorporating genuine customization to ensure it truly benefits you.
– Leaks indicate Samsung is allowing users to create their own Now Brief cards—envision personalized timings, repeating schedules, and even launching apps directly from the card.
– This hidden treasure was uncovered deep within the One UI 8 beta, so anticipate its arrival in an upcoming update.
It seems that Samsung has been attentive to the feedback regarding Now Brief’s insufficient customization, hence the company is allegedly developing more profound personalization to make it genuinely feel like your own.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, it also presented Now Brief. It’s Samsung’s solution to Google Now, featuring smart little cards that deliver the right information at the appropriate moment, such as a morning weather update, your afternoon commute, or evening news.
However, not everyone is convinced by Galaxy AI’s Now Brief. The main complaint from users is that it’s confined to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model. Without more substantial customization, it merely acts on its own instead of truly adjusting to your phone usage.
Detailed control over Now Brief content
There’s some positive news, however. As reported by SammyGuru, Samsung is indeed working on allowing you to create your own Now Brief cards. We’re talking about full customization where you can define precise times (or recurring schedules) and even launch apps directly from the cards.
SammyGuru discovered this feature hidden away in the Modes and Routines app. However, it is currently only available in Korean.
Here’s how it functions: First, you assign a name to your card and provide a brief description. Next, you select an image and link it to an app, so tapping the card opens it immediately. Lastly, you decide when it appears, whether it’s a one-time notification or repeats daily or weekly.
As mentioned earlier, Samsung has concealed this new feature deep within One UI 8’s Modes and Routines app, and finding it there essentially indicates it’s on the horizon. Given that the tech giant is already beta testing One UI 8, don’t be surprised if this customization option suddenly emerges in the next update.
It appears Samsung is poised to finally give Now Brief the personalization boost everyone has been anticipating.
