In addition to triggers and actions, on Samsung\u2019s latest Android update, you\u2019re now able to set an expiration that\u2019ll see the routine stop firing when you want it to.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve spotted a new Keep routine until field in the routine interface within One UI 8.5. The default is Forever, but there are also options to have the routine active until a certain date, or even to only use the routine a single time.<\/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\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/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\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tapping the Keep routine until option in the routine creation interface will open a menu with the selections for Forever, Choose date, and Run only once. This option seems available for all routines created in One UI 8.5 except for ones that use the Start manually trigger.<\/p>\n<p>This new option could be convenient if you want to create a routine that\u2019s only useful seasonally (in which case you can set it to end after a certain date), or to pre-plan a single action (set it to Run only once).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re able to add expiration dates to routines created on Samsung devices running One UI 8.5 right now. We first saw this feature on a Galaxy S26 running stable One UI 8.5, but we\u2019ve also been able to confirm that the new Keep routine until setting is available on Galaxy S25 devices enrolled in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-s25-seventh-one-ui-8-5-beta-3648625\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One UI 8.5 beta program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
