Hi all! 😃

If you have any suggestions for features or apps, then please share them with us here.

I suggest Samsung enhance the 'Best Face' feature by incorporating personalized AI modeling, similar to the Retake AI app.

The Suggestion:

Instead of only swapping faces within a single burst of photos, allow Galaxy AI to build a personalized profile from 10–15 uploaded selfies. This would enable the Photo Editor to 'reimagine' or fix a user's face in any shot using their actual likeness, even if the perfect expression wasn't captured in the original moment.

I encourage the development team to check out the Retake AI app as a reference for how this technology can provide much more flexibility than standard burst-photo swapping.

I suggest adding a powerful, native "Media Duplicate Finder" to the Samsung Gallery app to improve storage management and user privacy.

Proposed Features:

Video & GIF Scanning: Detect identical or similar videos and GIFs.

Smart Grouping:

Categorize similar photos for easy review.

One-Tap Cleanup:A ‘Delete All Duplicates’ option for efficiency.

On-Device Privacy: Ensure all scans happen locally without the need for third-party apps.

This built-in tool would provide a secure and seamless way for users to manage their media storage.

Subject:Enhancing Samsung Keyboard with Integrated Galaxy AI and Voice Controls

I suggest updating the Samsung Keyboard to include deeper integration of AI writing and advanced voice editing tools, leveraging the existing Galaxy AI infrastructure. 

Proposed Features:

AI Proofreading & Rephrasing: 

Allow users to fix grammar or adjust text tone (Formal, Casual, Social Media) instantly within any application.

Advanced Voice Commands: Enable hands-free text editing via voice. Users should be able to use commands like *Delete last sentence' or Insert [word] before [word]' for seamless correction.

On-the-Go Summarization:

Provide a tool to highlight long passages of text and condense them into concise bullet points directly from the keyboard interface.

Integrating these generative AI tools will significantly boost user productivity.

I suggest adding a face-detection toggle to the auto-rotate settings. 

By using the front camera to sense face orientation, the device could prevent the screen from rotating unnecessarily when the user is lying down or tilting the phone.

This feature is already a staple on Google Pixel phones and significantly improves the user experience. Integrating this into One UI would offer Samsung users much more precise screen control and reduce the frustration of frequent accidental rotation.

I suggest adding Select and Share tools directly to the One UI Recents screen, similar to the functionality on Pixel devices. Currently, Pixel users can highlight text and save images directly from the app switcher without fully opening the app.

Integrating Smart Select into the Recents menu would significantly improve multitasking efficiency by making it much faster to copy and move data between applications. This addition would be a valuable enhancement to the One UI workflow.

"I suggest adding a Depth Effect  to the One UI Lock Screen. This would allow the clock to appear behind the subject of a photo (such as a person's face), creating a layered, professional look. 

Currently, the clock often covers the faces of loved ones in wallpapers. Implementing this depth sensing would ensure the main subject remains visible and prominent, significantly improving lock screen customization.

I suggest adding the ability to create and save "multiple Lock Screen setups", similar to the functionality on iOS. 

The Improvement:

Currently, changing a wallpaper or clock style requires manual reorganization every time. I would like to be able to save several distinct configurations (different wallpapers, clock styles, and widgets) and switch between them instantly. This would allow users to have specific presets for work, home, or personal preference without having to rebuild the layout from scratch.

I suggest adding a color picker (eye-dropper tool) to the Lock Screen customization menu. 

The Improvement:

While Samsung already has a color picker for photo stickers, it is missing from the Lock Screen styler. I would like to be able to sample colors directly from my wallpaper to perfectly match the clock color to the subject, similar to the iPhone. This would provide much better aesthetic consistency than the current preset color swatches.

I suggest adding a persistent, iOS-style Magnifier Tool to the native Samsung photo and screenshot editor.

Key Features:

Adjustable Zoom Lens:

A circular overlay that magnifies a specific area of an image for emphasis.

Full Customization:Users should be able to move, resize, and adjust the zoom level of the lens before saving.

Detail Highlighting:

This tool would be invaluable for clearly pointing out fine print or small details in screenshots.

Integrating this would greatly enhance the utility of One UI’s native editing suite beyond basic cropping and drawing.

I suggest implementing deep linking between the Samsung Reminders app and email clients.

The Improvement:

When a reminder is created from an email, it should include a "clickable link" that opens the original message directly. This would mirror the seamless functionality on iOS, allowing users to jump straight from a task to the relevant email without searching. This enhancement would significantly improve productivity and workflow management within One UI.
