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.

Caviar has moved football’s greatest debate onto another fiercely contested battlefield. The Android versus iPhone discussion is getting more heated by adding Ronaldo and Messi to the mix. The luxury-device company's new Legends collection pairs Lionel Messi with a customized Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, while Cristiano Ronaldo gets an iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Both designs use handcrafted cloisonné enamel and 24-karat gold plating, with prices starting at $18,382 for Messi’s foldable and $15,974 for Ronaldo’s iPhone.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Everything we know about Samsung’s next flagship foldable
Though it will feature improvements across the board, the memory crisis might not spare Samsung’s Fold 8 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not the phone that reimagines what a foldable looks like. As that job falls to its sibling, the wider-screen Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Ultra could come as the direct successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with the same tall, narrow design and the same book-style proportions, for the same audience. 

If you've used a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold in the past and think that the shape is perfect for you, the Fold 8 Ultra could be just the right phone for you. It has a redesigned inner display, a substantially larger battery, faster charging, and the new Flex Titanium technology designed to minimize the crease that has troubled Samsung's foldables for years.
