GoKawiilSamsung adds toggle in One UI 9 Beta 6 to stop accidental AI Select triggers
Samsung's One UI 9 Beta 6 update for Galaxy S26 devices introduces a new 'Touch and hold for AI select' switch under Display > Edge panels settings. Users had complained that lingering too long while swiping out the Edge Panel would accidentally freeze the screen and launch AI Select. The new toggle lets users turn off that long-press behavior while still keeping AI Select accessible as a shortcut icon in the Edge Panel.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This fixes a real usability complaint that had been building on Samsung's community forums since AI Select was tied to the Edge Panel gesture, showing Samsung is responsive to beta feedback before wider rollout. It also reflects a broader tension in adding AI features to existing UI gestures without disrupting core navigation habits.
- New toggle in Settings > Display > Edge panels controls AI Select's long-press trigger.
- Feature currently rolling out via One UI 9 Beta 6 for Galaxy S26 devices.
- Users can still access AI Select through a dedicated shortcut icon even with the toggle off.
