TL;DR
- Code within One UI 8.5 suggests Samsung could bring a new “Adaptive data saver” feature to Galaxy phones.
- The feature works by only downloading videos in social media apps when you are “ready to watch them.”
- This feature can help users with limited mobile data plans manage their social media data usage effectively.
One UI 8.5 is expected to be a big update for Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, in ways that One UI 8 wasn’t. We’re expecting plenty of new features, ranging from Pro camera presets and sharing to Galaxy S26 Ultra exclusive features like Private Display, and more. We’ve now spotted another new feature in the works for One UI 8.5, and this one will likely be appreciated by people who don’t have unlimited data access all the time.
