Samsung just refreshed your Galaxy phone’s Intelligence Voice Services
Samsung has released a fresh update for its Intelligence Voice Services, now available as version 1.1.33.35. This update improves performance and addresses some issues that users encountered in previous versions. It is available for download on the Galaxy Store with a package size of 75.65MB.
The fresh update brings improvements to the core functions of the Intelligence Voice Services. It ensures smoother operation and faster response times for Galaxy users.
In addition, the update also resolves some bugs from earlier versions to enhance the overall user experience and the reliability of the service. However, it does not bring any new features or changes.
Samsung Intelligence Voice Service connects Galaxy devices to large language model (LLM) servers and advanced intelligence services within Samsung’s stock applications.
When these applications request services related to Galaxy Advanced Intelligence, the system delivers the necessary data and prompts to the service-providing LLM for processing. Once processed, the system then sends the result back to the application that made the request.
With the fresh update, Samsung improves these services more to provide a smoother experience. You can install the update via Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, you can download it directly from the third-party app link mentioned here.

Android’s Chrome preps for iOS-like animations as we await One UI 7
Chrome for Android seemingly preparing to get iOS-inspired animations. Samsung is working hard on One UI 7 to rival Apple’s latest iOS 18. The upcoming update could bring iOS-inspired animations and fluency to Galaxy devices.
As Samsung preps iOS animations on One UI, Chrome for Android is also getting ready to follow the same suite. The new animation is visually appealing (as spotted by MSPoweruser) and visible on back-and-forward gesture controls.
The latest Chrome Canary update carries a flag called “back-forward visual transitions” in the experimental channel of the browser. When enabled, the toggle “adds animated gesture transitions for back/forward session history navigations.”
As you can see in the video, the back-and-forward animation has been completely revamped. The new choice introduces a way more appealing appearance than the current one. Such rich visuals make significant improvements to the user experience.
Notably, Chrome features “Back/Forward Cache (bfcache)” to render rich page transitions without any delays. Behind the scenes, the API keeps page snapshots stored, so they load faster when you go back or forward.
The change has recently become available for Beta testing. The visual tweak is now working, but there’s no tentative timeline for general availability. Google may keep it for the next version of Android which could release in Q2 next year.
