A small AI addition you might not have spotted yet is that Gemini can now integrate directly with the Samsung Gallery app.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_nm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/gemini-integration-one-more-native-samsung-app-galaxy-s26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SamMobile<\/a>, Gemini on the Galaxy S26 Ultra can connect to Samsung Gallery in One UI 8.5, allowing you to search for photos and videos stored on your phone using natural language prompts. For example, you could ask Gemini to find \u201cphotos of me with my dog from this summer,\u201d and it will surface matching results from the Gallery app. We gave it a try ourselves, and the images below show it in action.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 1\"  alt=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Google-Gemini-Samsung-Gallery-Integration-S26-1-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 2\"  alt=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Google-Gemini-Samsung-Gallery-Integration-S26-2-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The integration supports several other types of searches and actions. You can ask Gemini to find photos from a specific date or location, or search for pictures by subject and place. The assistant can also share photos from your gallery with a contact. However, at this stage, Gemini can\u2019t delete photos or videos, share videos, or move images between albums in the Gallery app.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 3\"  alt=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Google-Gemini-Samsung-Gallery-Integration-S26-3-scaled.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 4\"  alt=\"Google Gemini Samsung Gallery Integration S26 4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Google-Gemini-Samsung-Gallery-Integration-S26-4-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The addition expands Gemini\u2019s reach across Samsung\u2019s own apps. With One UI 7, Samsung introduced Gemini integrations for Calendar, Notes, and Reminder, and Gallery now appears to be the fourth native Samsung app to support the AI assistant.<\/p>\n<p>SamMobile reports that Galaxy S25 phones running the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-one-ui-8-5-beta-download-how-to-3623185\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 8.5 beta<\/a> don\u2019t appear to have this Gallery integration, suggesting the feature is tied to the stable One UI 8.5 software that ships with Samsung\u2019s newest phones. Either way, it\u2019s another sign of Samsung and Google continuing to weave Gemini deeper into our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
