Two more One UI 9.5 features have turned up in testing: a Blocked calls dashboard in Samsung’s Phone app and a gaming feature called PlayOn Agent. Neither is an announced feature, and both come from early software and app code, so the final versions may differ.
The Blocked calls dashboard was found by Android Authority after manually enabling a hidden section in the Phone app on One UI 9.5. It shows how many calls your phone has blocked over the last 30 days and splits them into three categories: Potential fraud, Suspected spam and Blocked by you. A stacked bar gives the overall breakdown, and tapping a category should open its own page, though those pages were empty in testing. If automatic spam and scam blocking is switched off, the dashboard reportedly offers a shortcut to turn it on.
That goes further than the current setup, where blocked calls only appear in Recents after you enable them from the three-dot menu. It also sits alongside the other Phone app changes we’ve seen in One UI 9.5, including the option to record calls from WhatsApp, Telegram and Google Meet. It is unclear which Galaxy phones or regions would get the dashboard.
PlayOn Agent is a different kind of feature. According to reports based on app code, it would bring game activity into Samsung’s own apps so you don’t have to open each game to check what’s going on.
| Where it shows up | What it could do |
| Samsung Messages | Receive and reply to messages from gaming friends without opening the game |
| Samsung Contacts | A dedicated PlayOn section for gaming friends, so you don’t need their phone numbers |
| Now Brief | Cards and widgets for in-game events, daily missions, limited-time rewards and login bonuses |
| PlayOn hub | Manage several game accounts and pick which character or profile is active |
Additional reporting on the Contacts side mentions friend requests, guild invitations, guild membership details, online status and gaming profiles. Samsung already has a Gaming Hub for discovering and managing games, and PlayOn Agent looks like a separate, deeper link between games and One UI’s built-in apps, in keeping with the agent-style features we’ve seen for Bixby in One UI 9.5.
