The Galaxy S26 lineup is only a couple of days old, but it just received what I’d go so far as to say is the most powerful AI feature to date. A new software update brings Gemini’s task automation to the Galaxy S26, marking an evolution of the Cross App Actions feature introduced with last year’s Galaxy S25.
While Cross App Actions introduced a more intuitive way of getting a phone to perform explicit commands — like adding an appointment to a calendar — support was largely limited to native apps. You couldn't perform requests within third-party apps. However, that all changes now as this latest Galaxy S26 update expands Gemini’s capabilities.
