Overview
- The feature was revealed in screenshots shared by tipster Fahad Ali Javed and reported by multiple outlets from an unreleased One UI 9.5 build.
- The leak shows a tool labeled “My Custom Widget” that appears to let users pull data from stock One UI apps such as Calendar and Messages and arrange those elements in a split, modular widget tile with action links.
- Several publications say the concept closely resembles Google’s Android 17 'Create My Widget,' though it is unclear if Samsung’s version will use AI to generate widgets the way Google's tool does.
- The find was published Thursday, August 20, 2026, but the feature remains in development, unconfirmed by Samsung, and may change before a likely public One UI 9.5 rollout expected in early 2027.
- The work builds on Samsung’s recent experiments with custom info cards in One UI and would give users more flexible home‑screen shortcuts and glanceable info, which could change how people access calendar items, messages, and quick actions.
