An internal One UI 9.5 build shows Samsung testing a Bixby that can create recurring tasks, run them in the background and manage them from a new Actions section. It goes beyond the smarter Bixby that arrived with the One UI 8.5 beta, which mostly answers requests and controls settings. Samsung hasn’t announced the feature, and it comes from a test build that may change before release.
| Detail | Status |
| Feature | Bixby recurring and background tasks, reported |
| Where they live | New Actions section inside Bixby |
| Controls | Pause, pin, delete, daily activity log, link to original chat |
| Approval | Bixby asks before setting anything up |
| Expected software | One UI 9.5 |
| Likely first phones | Galaxy S27 series, not confirmed |
In the example shown, a tester asked Bixby for the US dollar to Indian rupee rate every morning. Instead of giving one answer, Bixby reportedly turned the request into a recurring task and waited for approval before activating it. The approved task then appears in the Actions section, reached from the left sidebar. From there you can pause, pin or delete it, check a day-by-day log of how it ran, and jump back to the conversation where you first asked. The permission step matters, because it suggests Bixby isn’t meant to run requests without your approval.
Reports also mention that the tested version can handle jobs such as booking a hotel or scheduling an appointment. Only the exchange-rate task was actually shown, so those are examples and not proof that any booking service or calendar app is supported yet. We also don’t know how task data is handled or stored.
The same build reportedly improves Voice Recorder. A Topical Outline would group a recording’s main points by topic, a Speaker Summary would help you follow who said what, and the app may suggest a reminder when a recording mentions a future task. These are separate from the Bixby work, and Samsung hasn’t confirmed them either.
One UI 9.5 is still in testing, with a beta possibly in late November or early December and a stable release expected on the Galaxy S27 series in early 2027. Which older phones get the Bixby changes, and whether they need particular hardware or a paid Galaxy AI plan, isn’t known. Other early finds include App Lock, and the latest test software is the new firmware for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Until Samsung announces the update, treat all of this as rumor.
