Samsung is set to unveil One UI 8 later this year, marking its version of the Android 16 operating system. According to leaks circulating on social media, the South Korean technology giant is planning to enhance a key feature of its Galaxy AI – the Audio Eraser. This update may introduce real-time functionality, allowing users to eliminate unwanted audio from videos without navigating into editing mode.
Audio Eraser Upgrades in One UI 8
In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), tech influencer Ice Universe shared a brief video showcasing the anticipated upgrades to the Audio Eraser feature in One UI 8. The new functionality is expected to enable users to remove background sounds, like vehicle horns or crowd noise, while watching videos, thus removing the necessity for editing.

As a video plays, users are expected to see a dedicated noise reduction option at the bottom-right corner of the player. This feature will be indicated by a new icon combining elements of the Galaxy AI symbol with an eraser graphic. Tapping the icon will initiate the audio removal process right within the media player, allowing playback to continue seamlessly.
If the Audio Eraser feature is introduced in One UI 8, it would represent a significant enhancement over its predecessor available in One UI 7 for the Galaxy S25 series. Currently, the existing version allows users to attenuate specific audio elements within video clips, utilizing AI technology to analyze and categorize various sound types including voices, music, noise, crowd sounds, nature, and wind.
In the One UI 7 environment, the Audio Eraser feature is limited to the stock Gallery app. However, previous reports indicate that Samsung might extend support to additional applications, such as Samsung Notes and Voice Recorder.
The One UI 8 Beta is reportedly equipped with broader support for the Audio Eraser feature, and it may roll out to all Galaxy devices alongside the public release of the Android 16-based operating system.
