Samsung Launches Glance AI Lockscreen for Galaxy Phones in the US
New opt-in feature brings AI-driven shopping and style previews to your lockscreen
Glance AI Now Rolling Out to Galaxy Devices
Samsung has officially begun rolling out Glance AI, an AI-powered lockscreen experience, for Galaxy smartphone users in the US. Developed in partnership with Glance, this feature blends generative AI, style discovery, and e-commerce directly into the lockscreen interface.
- The rollout begins with select devices: Galaxy S22+, S22 Ultra, S23 series, S24 series, S24 FE, and the latest S25 lineup.
- Samsung plans to complete the launch within the next 30 days across all compatible Galaxy models.
What Is Glance AI?
Glance AI is both a standalone app and a lockscreen widget, offering personalized shopping suggestions and lifestyle content powered by AI.
- It remains a completely opt-in feature, meaning users must manually enable it—no automatic ads or tracking without consent.
- Once enabled, users can see trending outfits, explore events, and shop directly from the lockscreen, powered by real-time AI personalization.
How It Works
Glance AI uses a selfie or gallery photo to generate realistic images of you wearing different outfits, using Google’s Imagen for image generation and Gemini for personalized suggestions.
- With a tap, you can shop styles from over 400 brands and retailers, transforming your lockscreen into a virtual style showroom.
- The platform also curates local events, social trends, and seasonal outfit ideas, offering a smarter, more engaging lockscreen.
A New Wave of AI-Driven Customization
Samsung’s collaboration with Glance aligns with the industry-wide shift toward hyper-personalized mobile experiences.
- According to Jason Shim, Senior Director of Samsung Galaxy Store USA, “Glance AI makes the Galaxy experience smarter and more engaging.”
- This launch not only reinforces Samsung’s push for GenAI integration, but also redefines how users interact with their phones on a daily basis.
Privacy and Control
Importantly, Glance AI prioritizes user choice and privacy:
- The service is opt-in, ensuring users don’t encounter unwanted lockscreen content.
- Samsung’s move ensures a non-intrusive AI shopping experience, giving users full control over what appears on their screen.
As the feature expands across more devices, Galaxy users in the US can expect a richer, AI-powered mobile experience that’s tailored to both utility and style.
