Your WhatsApp and Google Meet calls will show up in Samsung’s Phone app with One UI 9

Similar to how iOS shows them to iPhone users, within a single call log.

If you’ve ever switched from an iPhone to a Samsung, wondering why your WhatsApp or Google Meet calls aren’t showing up in the phone’s call log, One UI 9 is about to fix that. 

Samsung’s Phone app on One UI 9 will display calls made through other apps alongside regular calls in a single, unified call log. 

Why does this matter?

Based on screenshots of the beta version of One UI 9 shared by SamMobile, the feature currently supports Google Meet and WhatsApp. Samsung is also expected to expand support to other apps over time.

In addition to the unified call log, Samsung’s Now Brief feature, which periodically reminds you to call contacts you haven’t spoken to, will now identify calls made over WhatsApp or Meet. 

In other words, it will stop prompting you to call someone you’ve already had a conversation with through a different app.  

You can stick with the old layout as well

If you don’t want to merge your WhatsApp, Meet, and regular call log, One UI 9 will also offer an option to disable it in Phone app > Settings > Other call settings > Other calling apps, and disabling history from individual apps. 

One UI 9 is currently in beta for the Galaxy S26 series and general availability is expected later this year, alongside the release of Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup. Google has also announced plans to bring the unified call log feature to all Android 16 devices using the Google Phone app, but for now, it looks like Samsung is moving faster on quality-of-life improvements.

Meanwhile, iPhones have done this for years. The iOS Phone app has long displayed calls from multiple apps, including WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Telegram, in one unified history, making it easier to track every call regardless of the app you used.
