Samsung's One UI 8.5 Brings Privacy Protection to Messaging Shares

Samsung is set to roll out its One UI 8.5 update, introducing a new Privacy Protection feature for messaging app shares. This worldwide release could influence other manufacturers to adopt similar measures.

The update, developed by Samsung Electronics, will initially reach recent flagship phones like the Galaxy S25 series and Z Fold 7. A standout feature is the ability to redact images directly from the share menu. This works by scanning images for sensitive information, allowing users to blur, pixelate, or redact those sections before sending. The feature is designed to prevent accidental oversharing of personal information. Samsung's software and design teams have been working on this update, which also includes new AI-powered features and a major design refresh.

Samsung's One UI 8.5 update, with its Privacy Protection feature for messaging app shares, is expected to reach users worldwide soon. This update, developed internally by Samsung, could influence other manufacturers to adopt similar privacy measures.
