Samsung Keyboard removes Grammarly, Spotify and YouTube plugins

Samsung Keyboard silently removed Grammarly, Spotify, and YouTube plugins. Whether it’s a bug causing the removal of three useful extensions is subject to be verified. However, it could be a part of pushing Galaxy AI features for the Keyboard app.
Grammarly, Spotify, and YouTube plugins are no longer available on Samsung Keyboard. The company has silently ditched these tools from Galaxy’s native keyboard app. A report says that policy violation led to the YouTube extension being removed.
It is reported that the YouTube extension in Samsung Keyboard bypassed parental restrictions. It allowed kids to access content inappropriate through the Keyboard app. However, it is neither confirmed by Samsung nor Google/YouTube.
A similar reason could have led the Spotify extension to be removed from Keyboard. YouTube and Spotify plugins in Samsung Keyboard offered the same functionality. Meanwhile, Grammarly’s removal from the plugins list is yet to be known.

Samsung brought plugins/extensions for user convenience. These are tools from third-party applications that offer seamless access. The plugins were used to deeply integrate functions across services without OS-level requirements.
Galaxy AI brings several assistance services for Samsung apps. Grammarly is quite a popular and useful service, but getting promoted by Samsung’s Keyboard itself. We guess Galaxy AI’s inclusion could have led Grammarly to part ways.
Samsung is preparing to begin rolling out One UI 6.1.1 features. Older foldable phones and tablets could get the incremental update this month. Without a version bump, regular flagships will also likely get new features and functional improvements.

Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist

Samsung One UI 7 is set to introduce new AI features for Galaxy phones. After the initial Galaxy AI arrival, Apple is bringing Apple Intelligence with iOS 18. Samsung has also introduced new AI features with new foldables to counter Apple’s entry into the segment.
Samsung One UI 7 Galaxy AI features wishlist
Galaxy AI brings both on-device AI and cloud-processing-based features. The latest frontier of Galaxy AI debuted on July 10 with the Galaxy Z6 series. Nevertheless, we are excited about more new and useful AI features with the 2025 iteration.
Enhanced on-device and cloud AI
Galaxy S24 and Z6 series powered by Gemini Nano AI model. Google is working on Gemini Nano v2 with more AI capabilities, power efficiency, and reliability. It would benefit smartphones equipping the new AI model developed by Google.
The mixed suite of AI features is beneficial in many ways. Consumers don’t need to worry about privacy with on-device AI features. At the same time, consumers get quite useful image and video editing tools as well as wallpaper generators through cloud-based AI.
OS-level writing tools
One UI 7 should follow Apple’s edge of system-wide writing tools. Galaxy’s next major Galaxy AI upgrade should introduce features like rewrite, proofread, and summarize that work across all apps. Upgraded writing assistance will surely help Galaxy users in their everyday tasks.
AI notifications
Notifications are the most important aspect of our smartphones. Whether it’s a phone call, text message, or social media interaction, the notification function is the key to all. Due to multiple apps and services, users often face a condition where arrangement becomes a tough task.
Apple Intelligence managed to address the problem with the Priority Notifications feature. Artificial intelligence learns the usage patterns and importance plus priority of notifications. Based on deep analysis, the OS displays priority notifications on top followed by others.
Image and video enhancement
One UI 6.1’s Photo Editor added many useful tools for pro-editing in less time. Many third-party AI-powered photo editing apps are loaded with cool features. Samsung should adopt such tools to offer an effortless editing experience on Galaxy devices.
Smart Circle to Search
Circle to Search is a great feature that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung and Google expanded it to their flagship devices. Besides, Google is working to fulfill its commitment to installing Circle to Search on 200 million devices worldwide.
This functionality should be further optimized with system functions. The addition of the translate button is worth praising and we need Circle to Search to evolve further. Apple’s iPhones don’t have any feature similar or equivalent to Circle to Search.
