Galaxy S26 blocked call dashboard: One UI 9.5 feature explained

A hidden dashboard in One UI 9.5 would tally blocked calls by type — fraud, spam, or manual — for the first time. No launch date. No guarantee it ships.

Samsung is building a hidden Blocked Calls dashboard for One UI 9.5 — a new hub inside the Phone app that tallies and categorises calls your Galaxy phone has already stopped over the past 30 days. It’s not live yet, and Samsung hasn’t confirmed it. But Android Authority found evidence of it buried in One UI 9.5’s code: a dedicated interface splitting blocked calls into three buckets, potential fraud, suspected spam, and numbers you manually blocked.

Tap a category, and it shows how many calls landed there. Block a number today, and it’ll appear in the ‘manually blocked’ count tomorrow, assuming the feature ships as coded. Right now, you can only toggle blocked calls on or off in Recents via the three-dot menu. This would be the first time Samsung surfaces that data in one place, with context.

The dashboard doesn’t let you unblock or call back, it’s purely a visibility layer. One UI 9.5 is expected early 2027, likely alongside the Galaxy S27 series. That means no Galaxy S26 or S26 Ultra users will get it before Q1 2027, and only if Samsung keeps it in the final build.

The company already added Call Screening AI to the S26 at launch, and is rolling out enhanced scam call detection globally with One UI 9. Fake AI caller detection is live in South Korea. Google launched its own Fake Call Detection in June. But tracking what’s been blocked?

That’s new. And it’s still just a prototype.
