Samsung is preparing to launch its next big software update, One UI 8.5, for Galaxy phones and tablets. This update is expected to bring several new features and improvements. Now, new leaked code reveals that the One UI 8.5 update will add the “Adaptive Data Saver” feature.

The leaked details show that Adaptive Data Saver will make social media videos download only when you’re ready to watch them. Normally, videos on apps like Instagram or TikTok start loading or playing automatically, even if you don’t watch them.

This background activity uses up a lot of data. With Adaptive Data Saver turned on, your phone will only download a video once you actually tap on it to watch, helping you save data without losing video quality or speed.

It may also limit how apps prefetch content. Many apps download videos or posts in advance, trying to predict what you’ll watch next. While this makes scrolling smoother, it uses extra data in the background.

By reducing this preloading, Adaptive Data Saver can help users control how much data is being used without them even noticing. While we’ll have to wait for Samsung to officially launch One UI 8.5 to know exactly how Adaptive Data Saver works, it already looks like a smart feature for anyone who wants to make their mobile data last longer.

Along with this, One UI 8.5 is expected to bring many other improvements, such as better camera options, easier sharing tools, and special features for the Galaxy S26 series. Stay tuned for more information.
