Samsung One UI 9.5 Blocked Calls Dashboard Tracks Spam for 30 Days
Samsung is building a Blocked calls dashboard into the Phone app in One UI 9.5. It sorts 30 days of blocked calls into fraud, spam and ones you blocked yourself.

giftdetect· the right gift in minutesYour Galaxy phone already blocks spam calls. Soon it may also tell you how many it stopped. Samsung is working on a Blocked calls dashboard for the Phone app in One UI 9.5, and it is still very much a work in progress.
The feature turned up when its new Blocked calls section was manually enabled in the One UI 9.5 Phone app. Because it was switched on by hand, nobody can try it yet, and there is no release date. Work-in-progress code like this may never ship.
What does the Samsung Blocked calls dashboard show?
The dashboard counts the calls your phone has blocked over the past 30 days. It splits them into three categories: Potential fraud, Suspected spam, and Blocked by you. Each has its own color in a stacked horizontal bar chart that shows the overall total.
Tap a category and you get a page listing the calls in it. In the build that was examined, all of these pages are empty. If the feature goes live, they should fill automatically with calls blocked in the last 30 days.
The dashboard also shows whether automatic spam and scam call blocking is turned on. If it is off, there is a shortcut to enable it.
How is this different from what Galaxy phones do now?
You can already see blocked calls: open the Phone app, go to Recents, tap the three-dot menu and toggle the option to show or hide them. That is a plain list, though. The new dashboard adds the summary and the categories.
Samsung's existing Block numbers section stays separate. It lets you block calls from unknown numbers and add numbers to a blocklist by hand. A number blocked there would show up in the new section only if it rings you again.
It is not a groundbreaking addition. But if you have ever wondered how many scam calls your phone quietly swats away, and what kind they are, this would answer it.
