How the AI-Powered App Works

Memory represents Samsung's answer to Google Pixel Screenshots, with features designed to catalog your life through intelligent automation1

. The productivity tool uses AI to automatically create names, descriptions, and tags for saved content, while retaining the original webpage link behind screenshots rather than leaving users with contextless images weeks later2

. Users can add content from any app using the Share function or capture screenshots with a three-finger gesture by dragging down the screen1

. Voice notes can be saved by pressing the volume up and side keys simultaneously1

Semantic Search and Smart Collections

The app includes semantic search capabilities that allow users to describe what they remember about a screenshot, with the AI showing related results based on context rather than exact keywords2

2

. Users can organize screenshots into different collections for memes, travel plans, or research sources, with the AI producing summaries of everything inside each collection2

. Memory also links back to the original app where content was captured, enabling users to return to the source when needed1

Inspiration from Collection App and Expected Release

The Samsung Memory app appears heavily inspired by Collection app, currently available only in China for Galaxy devices1

. The three-finger gesture will reportedly require One UI 9.5 to function, though SammyGuru found no technical reason preventing the app from coming to every currently updated Samsung phone1

. Samsung is expected to debut One UI 9.5 alongside the Galaxy S27 series in the first quarter of 2027, following a possible beta in late 20262

2

. A critical question remains whether Memory will be tied to the Galaxy AI subscription, which could impact its adoption if users must pay for access1
