This hidden Samsung Galaxy S26 feature will filter out scammers and other nuisance calls — here how you switch it on

Samsung Galaxy S26 held in the hand.

In a world where phone call scams are just another part of life, the ability to screen your calls before you pick up the phone is more important than ever. Samsung recently joined the ever-growing number of phone makers to offer this hidden feature, adding it to the Samsung Galaxy S26 series.

Call Screening on Galaxy S26 is not as good as some of the other options out there. Google's version is leagues ahead, and it even falls slightly behind Apple's equivalent, which only arrived last year. That's not to say it's a bad feature to have; any level of protection is better than nothing, but you will need to switch Call Screening on before it can do anything.
