Samsung recently launched the One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy S25 series and highlighted some of the new features that come with the update. While other Galaxy devices have yet to receive beta builds, a leaked One UI 8.5 build for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has revealed a new Galaxy AI feature that could significantly improve the image editing experience on Galaxy phones.
SamMobile says the new feature brings prompt-based image editing to the standard Gallery app. Users can access this feature by tapping a Galaxy AI button in the app and using the text field in the Photo Assistant section to describe changes. The feature will reportedly allow users to add, change, or remove elements in an image, but more importantly, it will also allow you to transfer elements from one image to another.
Galaxy AI in One UI 8.5 allows users to transfer things from one photo to another
A tutorial from Samsung’s Tips app shows that the new editing feature lets users select an image from the Gallery app and instruct Galaxy AI to capture a detail from that image and add it to the photo they’re currently editing. Users can also describe exactly how to add the element to achieve the desired results.
SamMobile notes that the feature is not functional in the leaked One UI 8.5 version and is not available in the beta version that recently rolled out for the Galaxy S25 series. Therefore, it is currently impossible to say how effective Samsung’s new generative editing features actually are. We expect to learn more and try out the feature in a later One UI 8.5 beta release or when the stable version goes live with the Galaxy S26 series early next year.
