Samsung is preparing to bring the new document scanning feature it introduced with the Galaxy S26 series to some older Galaxy models that will receive the One UI 8.5 update. This function, called Document Scan, allows users to digitize documents more efficiently.

Previously, when multiple document photos were taken, these images could not be saved as a single PDF file. Samsung eliminates this restriction with its Document Scan feature, allowing users to combine their documents into a single file.

Details and ease of access of the Document Scan feature

Samsung also offers the opportunity to add shortcuts to the home screen so that users can access this feature faster. This option, which can be activated from the scanning menu in the camera settings, allows the Document Scan feature to be added to the application screen.

Users can easily configure this feature through the scanning options by going to the settings section of the camera application. When the relevant setting is activated, the document scanning function becomes accessible directly from the main screen.

Which models will receive this update?

The Document Scan feature on Galaxy S26 will come to Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Edge models with the One UI 8.5 update. In addition, owners of foldable screen devices Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will also be able to benefit from this new ability.

When Samsung releases the stable One UI 8.5 version for these devices, all users will start using the document scanning feature. It is not yet clear whether other Samsung devices will receive the One UI 8.5 update will support this feature.
