One UI 9.5 Phone app will make searching easier, here are some screenshots
The Phone app now has the search button in an easier-to-access location.
TL;DR
- Samsung is moving the Phone app’s search button from the top to the bottom bar, beside Keypad, Recents, and Contacts.
- The change is meant to make search easier to reach, matching updates seen in other first-party apps.
- No other notable changes were found yet, but One UI 9.5 is still in development and a beta may begin soon.
Another One UI 9.5 app has hit our desk ahead of its official release, revealing some of the changes — or one change, to be exact
The app in question is Phone, and it has something in common with many of the other first-party apps Samsung is updating for One UI 9.5.
As you can see in the screenshots below, the Phone app now has the search button in the bottom bar instead of the top, next to the Keypad, Recents, and Contacts buttons. It seems Samsung is making the search function easier to reach in all of its apps with One UI 9.5.
We couldn’t spot any other notable changes, but One UI 9.5 is still in active development so Samsung could add more in the coming months.
The One UI 9.5 beta program could start for the Galaxy S26 series by the end of this month, earlier than the One UI 8.5 beta program did for the Galaxy S25 lineup last year. We’ll let you know once we learn more about the upcoming One UI update, so stay tuned.
