According to a SammyGuru report, a leaked One UI 8 build (BYFB) showcased a new personalisation feature for the popular Now Brief feature. The Now Brief feature provides users with a daily summary; however, the feature has limited access to smartphone apps and features for a detailed summary.
Now, the leaked build highlights Samsung may include new info cards such as parking spot reminders, smart home alerts, and wearable battery alerts. This will enable users to get timely alerts without relying on any particular app or manual navigation.
But, does these info cards work? The report highlighted that the parking spot reminders will remember where the users have parked their cars and also allow users to take a picture. Whereas, the smart home alert will keep users updated about their smart home gadgets and appliances, such as lights and thermostats. Lastly, the wearable battery alerts will let users know when their Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds are running low on battery.

Apart from these alerts, Now Brief is also rumoured to include water intake reminders. These info cards are expected to be customised by the users. Therefore, the feature could be used as a one-stop hub for all necessary information. However, we will have to wait for the stable rollout to confirm these new additions to One UI 8, Now Bried feature.
