Summary: According to an Indian tipster, Tarun Vats, the Galaxy S24 series won’t officially include the Now Brief feature as part of the stable One UI 7 update. While the tipster’s claim is interesting, it contradicts previous reports that hint the feature would be officially available on the said lineup. Notably, the feature is missing from the latest One UI 7 beta. However, a workaround can still enable it.
Samsung will begin rolling out stable One UI 7 to last year’s Galaxy smartphones on April 7. The U.S. rollout is slated to kick off on April 10. Samsung even pushed the last beta build of One UI 7 to the Galaxy S24 series last week. While it included almost every new feature introduced to the Galaxy S25 series, Now Brief was missing. Now, an Indian tipster claims that the Galaxy S24 series won’t officially get the Now Brief feature with stable One UI 7.
The stable One UI 7 update might not bring Now Brief to the Galaxy S24 series
The fresh rumor comes from Tarun Vats, who has a solid track record with Samsung Galaxy-related news. Yesterday, in a post on X, the tipster noted, “The S24 Series is getting all the One UI 7 (S25) features—except Now Brief.” The claim is quite interesting, yet contradictory.
That’s because reports from last week suggest that the Now Brief feature would be available on the Galaxy S24 series after the stable One UI 7 update. On Monday, SamMobile reported that Samsung has included the Now Brief feature in the latest One UI 7 beta 6. However, there’s no way to officially see or access it just yet.
Interestingly, a tipster reportedly activated the feature on the Galaxy S24 series using Activity Launcher. This is why the outlet further notes that the stable One UI 7 update might activate the Now Brief feature. Well, no one is quite sure whether the stable update will add Now Brief to the Galaxy S24 series. If it does, expect to see the feature on other Galaxy devices from last year.
What is Now Brief?
For the uninitiated, Now Brief provides you with a daily AI-powered quick summary based on your personal profile. Putting it simply, you can get a quick overview of everything you’ve planned for the day. The feature can remind you of upcoming events and trips, traffic conditions, and the weather. It further includes information such as health and wellness, phone settings, memories, and news headlines. Currently, only the Galaxy S25 series phones running on the Android 15-based One UI 7 skin have this feature.
