Samsung is expanding its push for AI transparency by bringing Content Credentials to the native Gallery app. First launched with the Galaxy S25 series in January, the feature is now reaching more Galaxy devices running One UI 7 and above. The latest Samsung Gallery update appears to have brought this authenticity tool to more Galaxy users.

Samsung’s AI transparency push sees a wider rollout with the new Gallery update

The Galaxy S25 series was the first mobile lineup in the world to offer Content Credentials. Backed by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), the standard is supported by major tech players including Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Publicis Groupe. Samsung joined this initiative to set Content Credentials as the universal standard for digital content provenance.

Now, the company is integrating the feature directly into the Gallery app, making it available to more Galaxy users. Think of Content Credentials as a digital “nutrition label” for media files. Expanding the details of a photo in the Gallery reveals a Content Credentials button (CR), which provides three key details:

• Verification if the image contains AI-generated elements
• The specific tool or method used for edits (e.g., Photo Assist)
• A history of changes to track whether an image has been altered

This metadata cannot be easily tampered with, giving users a reliable way to distinguish genuine photos from AI-altered or deepfake images. You can see the Content Credentials section in the details page of an image in Samsung Gallery (swipe up on an image). With AI tools increasingly woven into everyday smartphone use, this feature makes the Gallery app not just a photo viewer but a trustworthy tool for digital content verification.

The rollout appears to be server-side, meaning users may not see it immediately. Availability could also vary depending on device model, carrier, and region, with newer flagships expected to get it first. However, Samsung should soon push this feature to eligible Galaxy devices worldwide. The company describes Content Credentials as part of its mission to “foster transparency for content created and edited with generative AI.”
