Samsung has been building its Galaxy S line around AI features lately, and the Galaxy S26 series is now getting a feature that could push it further into agency duties.
To the Galaxy Unpacked Event In February 2026, Samsung and Google demonstrated a feature where Gemini could complete tasks for users in multiple applications and follow multiple steps. The company is now rolling out that capability to Galaxy S26 users in the US and Korea.
With the new update, Gemini gets a new “screen automation” feature in the Galaxy S26 series which allows you to open and control applications on your phone to complete tasks. For example, Gemini can order food, call a taxi, order food, and perform similar actions with a single command.

Now, when you hold down the power button on the Galaxy S26 and give a command like “Find me the best coffee from baristas nearby and order it from me,” Gemini starts working in a virtual window that shows the steps it’s taking.
The assistant navigates menus, opens the correct apps, selects items, adds them to your cart, and performs other steps automatically.
Your “regular” is now just a tap away. ☕️🍕Starting in beta, Gemini can help you with tasks on select ride-sharing and food apps. Simply ask Gemini to take care of your shopping cart, grocery delivery, or take you home. Gemini does the work, but you are in control 🪄 pic.twitter.com/fjfsDXDx7mFebruary 25, 2026
The interface also displays two options: Stop Task and Take Control. You can participate at any time if you think Gemini is taking the wrong steps, or you can cancel the process altogether. Before completing an order or action, Gemini will ask you for confirmation.
Currently in the US, the feature is supported by several apps, including Lyft, Uber, Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Starbucks, with support coming soon to Instacart.
For now, the feature is limited to the Galaxy S26 series in the US and Korea in English language, but Google says will soon expand to Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. We’ll update you as more Android devices receive the Gemini screen automation feature.
Android Central’s opinion
This feature is pretty wild. It’s not yet supported in my region, but when I asked Gemini to automate a task, it still recognized what I meant and informed me that the ordering tool was not available in my region. I hope Google expands support to more apps and more regions soon.
That said, we’ve seen plenty of AI features on smartphones, but this looks like one of the most capable agent features introduced in a long time.
