Samsung is rolling out its Android 17-based One UI 9 update to more Galaxy S26 phones in the US now including unlocked devices in the beta program.

One UI 9 adds Now Nudge
One UI 9 introduces Now Nudge (AI that suggests actions from your chats), clearer app data tracking, and new location access alerts.
Health tools get an upgrade too: you can resize cards and use your Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring for tracking sleep-related vitals and a daily heart health score.
Plus, Text Spotlight makes content bigger for easier reading, new keyboard shortcuts help you move faster, and multitasking is smoother with improved app window support.
