Samsung unleashed Galaxy AI earlier this year and one of its features was Live Translate, which has now been confirmed for expansion to calls made via third-party Messaging apps. Samsung also confirmed that it is bringing Galaxy AI to its upcoming foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Z Flip 6.
Samsung made the announcement via a newsroom post which read, “Soon, Samsung is extending the power of Galaxy AI beyond Samsung’s own native calling App by expanding Live Translate to other third-party message apps to support voice calls. So you can stay in contact with friends or colleagues, communicating on your favorite apps in multiple languages.”
Samsung’s AI-powered Live Translate feature uses on-device AI. It gives users a “personal translator whenever needed”. Because it’s integrated into the native call feature, the hassle of using third-party apps for translation is gone. Audio and text translations will appear in real-time as you speak, making calling someone who speaks another language about as simple as turning on closed captions when you stream a show.

As of now, the functionality is baked into the stock phone app in Galaxy devices supporting Galaxy AI. Samsung’s confirmation suggests the same will now be available on apps like WhatsApp and Telegram which allow users to make calls via the internet. The blog post further hinted that more AI features could expand to third-party apps in future. The Samsung official wrote, “I expect that more and more mobile AI features will be incorporated inside mobile devices as the intelligent computing power of the latest chips — particularly NPUs — advances at a blazing fast speed, along with other technologies.”
Finally, Samsung further said that “the introduction of Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S24 series was only the start. To deliver a completely new and unique AI experience, we will further optimize the Galaxy AI experience for the upcoming foldable devices.”
