Samsung’s custom widget creator appears in early One UI 9.5 build
Samsung is readying a custom widget tool in an early version of One UI 9.5, similar to what Google announced earlier this year.
Samsung is developing a custom widget creator for an early build of One UI 9.5, mirroring Google's announcement earlier this year. These two tech giants collaborate closely, with One UI 9.5 and Android 17 developed together. Recent leaks reveal Samsung's widget tool in action, featuring a modular split structure with two custom widgets coexisting in a single tile.
Users can input their preferences, and the system will automatically select relevant apps to provide data and shortcuts. For instance, a single widget could integrate calendar and messaging functionalities. This feature was previewed by Google in May 2026, aiming for a summer release on both Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices. The custom widget creation aligns well with Samsung's Daily Brief, which currently offers limited customization options.
With summer nearing its end, Samsung's "Create My Widget" feature is expected to launch soon. Note that these details come from an unreleased version of One UI 9.5, so further changes may occur before the official release.
