What’s happened? Following in Apple’s footsteps, Samsung is cooking up a new Galaxy AI feature that will automatically prioritize important alerts.
- Spotted in a leaked One UI 8.5 build, the upcoming feature is similar to the Apple Intelligence-powered ‘Priority Notifications’ feature introduced earlier this year.
- SammyGuru reports that the feature, aptly named “Prioritize notifications,” will automatically show important alerts at the top of the notifications drawer.
- A screenshot of its settings page reveals that users will be able to choose which notifications to prioritize on a per-app level.
- It adds that the feature will process notification content on-device, which means notification data will not be sent to Samsung’s servers.
Why is this important? The feature will ensure users don’t miss important updates by displaying them at the top of the notifications drawer.
- Allowing users to enable priority notifications for each app will ensure the feature only elevates notifications they deem important.
- Processing notification data on-device also addresses potential privacy concerns.
Why should I care? With this feature, you’ll waste less time sifting through notifications, as it will automatically display the most important ones at the top.
- The per-app customization will let you prioritize notifications from essential communication apps while avoiding unnecessary alerts from other apps.
- And since all processing happens on-device, you don’t have to worry about Samsung looking at the contents of your notifications.

What’s next? The “Prioritize notifications” feature will likely roll out with the stable One UI 8.5 update, which is expected to arrive with the Galaxy S26 series early next year. Older Samsung models eligible for the update should receive it shortly thereafter.
