Exclusive: Here’s Your First Look at Memory, Samsung’s Take on Pixel Screenshots

Samsung is developing a new Galaxy AI-powered app called Memory, aimed at organizing screenshots, links, text, imported content, and voice notes in one searchable space, according to multiple outlets reporting on leaks from SammyGuru. The app has been spotted in onboarding screens and early interface details, suggesting development is underway for a likely release with One UI 9.5, though Samsung has not announced anything officially. Android Police reports that Memory appears heavily inspired by Samsung's own Collection app, currently available only in China, and that SammyGuru's Josh Skinner obtained hands-on time with the app. Skinner's screenshots show Memory starts empty but can be filled using the Share function from any app, by dragging three fingers down to save a screenshot, or by pressing volume up and side keys simultaneously to save voice notes. The app then uses AI to name the item, create a description, add tags, and link back to the source app. Digital Trends notes Memory can recognize screenshots of web pages and search for the original link, while pasted links automatically generate titles, descriptions, and key information. Users can edit titles, mark entries as favorites, lock them, move them into collections, or delete them. The three-finger gesture reportedly requires One UI 9.5, but Android Police says SammyGuru found no reason the app couldn't come to every currently updated Samsung phone. A key unresolved question is whether Memory will be gated behind a Galaxy AI subscription, which Android Police suggests could make it "dead on arrival." Privacy details appear in the app's settings: Samsung says saved content is processed but not saved, and users can choose on-device processing, though some advanced intelligence features require online processing. Google's Pixel Screenshots and Oppo's Mind Space offer similar functionality, but Samsung's US phones have lacked a comparable tool until now.
