The Galaxy S24 has suffered the same fate as every other generation-old device, while the Galaxy S25 has had access to Samsung\u2019s Now Brief. Now Brief, the company\u2019s dynamic AI-powered status notification, is now available on the Galaxy S24 series through a One UI 8 beta update.<\/p>\n
Now Brief, for all of the grief given to it for feeling half-baked, is slowly taking on improvements. Third-party apps are in the pipeline, beyond Samsung\u2019s own apps, seeing real estate on One UI 8\u2019s lockscreen. The feature allows for apps to display status through the lock screen\u2019s Now Bar widget without taking up notification space.<\/p>\n
In theory, it\u2019s a great solution that has bled into other variations of Android, like Android 16\u2019s Magic Cue<\/a> on the Pixel 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spotted by Android Authority<\/a>, the Galaxy S24 series now looks to have access to Now Brief, where the feature was missing in previous beta versions of Samsung\u2019s OS. The addition means the Galaxy S24 has access to the permanent lock screen widget.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n The update itself fixes a few bugs on the device, as is expected for a beta update.<\/p>\n After installing, Samsung\u2019s Now Brief onboarding screen appears and allows users to enable the feature. It explains that Now Brief is locally processed through the Galaxy AI suite.<\/p>\n Currently, the feature still favors Samsung\u2019s own apps, pulling data from the weather app and your calendar. In the future, we\u2019re expecting to see more app suggestions, like ride share status and other useful bits of information. We\u2019ve been critical of the Now Brief feature in the past<\/a>, and there is plenty of work ahead that requires the inclusion of third-party apps. Without it, the feature feels closed off.<\/p>\n As this is the beta version of One UI 8, there\u2019s no official Now Brief availability for the Galaxy S24 series. That should become available when Samsung\u2019s official build is made public.<\/p>\n More on Samsung:<\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.<\/a><\/p>\n
