JAKARTA - Samsung seems to be preparing a new feature that will make Galaxy users more comfortable. Based on the latest leak, One UI 8.5 will allow users to prioritize notifications from certain applications so that they are not missed. This feature is said to display important notifications in the top position, making it easier to see.

One UI 8.5 is no longer a big secret. A number of leaks have been circulating, showing an increase in appearance and feature compared to the previous One UI 8. Now, the latest leak from Sammyguru shows that there is a new option called 'Priorize notification' in the system settings. By activating this feature, users can determine which notifications from the application are considered important.

For example, users can arrange for work email notifications or important messages to always appear at the top. Once the feature is activated, all notifications that are considered priority will remain at the top, even if other notifications enter after.

Interestingly, the screenshot in circulation shows the Galaxy AI logo in this feature. This means that there is a possibility that artificial intelligence will play a role in setting notification sequences. However, Samsung insists that all data processing is done directly on the device, without being sent to the cloud, so that user privacy remains safe.

This feature looks similar to the priority notification system that Apple had introduced earlier through iOS 18.4, where Apple Intelligence puts notifications from important contacts in the special section. The difference is, Samsung has not indicated that priority will be based on contacts, but on apps.

It is not yet known whether this feature will appear in the beta version of One UI 8.5 which is rumored to be launching in November. The stable version itself is expected to come along with the launch of the Galaxy S26 series early next year.

A small but crucial feature like this can be a savior for users who often sink in the ocean of notifications.
