Galaxy S26 Ultra Gemini Orders Dinner With One Tap

Samsung and Google have launched a groundbreaking automation feature that lets the Galaxy S26 Ultra order food, rides, and more with just a confirmation tap. The feature, announced at the Galaxy S26 unveiling, uses Gemini AI to handle entire transactions through apps like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Starbucks. I tested it by asking Gemini to order a Medicine Ball tea from Starbucks, and it worked flawlessly.

To use this screen automation, your Galaxy S26 Ultra needs One UI 8.5 with the February 2026 security patch and a personal Google account. The Gemini app shows supported apps installed on your phone, with popular services like Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Instacart already compatible. You can chain commands together for complex tasks, like ordering group dinners by reading text conversations.

The system prompts you for any missing details and lets you set default preferences to avoid mistakes. You can specify things like "only order gluten-free items" or "only fly Delta economy." While some advanced features like multi-stop Uber rides aren't available yet, the current functionality represents a major leap in smartphone automation that could change how we handle everyday tasks.
