- Samsung’s Voice Recorder update for One UI 8 focuses less on AI tools and more on recording and playback.
- The app is designed for early One UI 8 builds, but also works on One UI 7 if manually installed.
- AI transcription, summary, and translation are still available, but no longer dominate the interface.
At a time when AI seems to be taking over every app you use — expect to see a lot of it at Google I/O later — Samsung might be quietly dialing it down, at least a little. A new version of the Voice Recorder app, designed for One UI 8, offers a glimpse at a cleaner, more restrained approach to Galaxy AI.
As spotted by SammyGuru, this updated app version is part of a leaked One UI 8 build already circulating online. Interestingly, the app also runs on current One UI 7 devices if you sideload the APK, giving more users a chance to check out the changes ahead of the official OS update.
