Samsung has updated its Galaxy AI Writing Assist feature in One UI 7 to work with third-party keyboards, no longer requiring users to use Samsung’s default keyboard app.
Key Update: One UI 7 introduces keyboard-agnostic functionality for Galaxy AI writing tools, making them accessible across different keyboard applications through a simple highlight and tap interface.
- Users can now access Galaxy AI writing features by highlighting text or long-pressing in empty text fields, regardless of which keyboard app they’re using
- The Galaxy AI logo appears alongside other text editing options when text is highlighted in social or chat apps
- Writing tools appear in the keyboard space, maintaining a consistent user experience across different keyboard applications
Technical Details: The Writing Assist feature in One UI 7 brings a comprehensive set of AI-powered writing tools to Samsung devices, with specific requirements for different functions.
- Text summarization and bullet point features require approximately 200 characters of text to function
- Core features like spelling, style, and composer remain available for shorter text inputs
- The functionality is expected to work on devices that have processors capable of handling the necessary AI processing requirements
Device Compatibility and Availability: One UI 7’s expanded AI writing capabilities will reach a broader range of Samsung devices through software updates.
- The Galaxy S25 series comes with One UI 7 pre-installed
- Previous Galaxy S24 models will receive these features through the One UI 7 update
- Older Galaxy devices compatible with One UI 7 may receive varying levels of AI functionality based on their hardware capabilities
Looking Forward: While this update addresses a significant user pain point by decoupling AI writing features from Samsung’s default keyboard, the real test will be how smoothly these features integrate with popular third-party keyboards and whether this more open approach becomes a model for future Samsung AI features.
