Hello

It seems that Samsung have removed the labs settings from the phone app

Can we have it back, as it have some great features?

Thank you

What device are you using? It's still in settings on my devices under Advanced features. You can also try searching it in settings.

Hi

S24 ultra
I can't see it
Do you have options such as full screen caller photo and fake calls? I think there was an update and it stopped it on the newer devices

Are you referring to call background and caller id spam protection? These settings you will find in the phone app. Open the phone app click the 3 dots. Got to settings > call settings.

No, the labs settings. Hidden settings for various Samsung labs

From searching the web. Seems downloading shortcut maker makes the hidden features appear. Did you install shortcut maker from the app store.

Yup. I have been using it a lot. But all of a sudden, with one ui 6, the option is not there anymore

Could be that the shortcut maker developers need to update it to work on one ui 6. Could try to contact them in the playstore.

There were other apps that helped accessing the settings. Another 3. I don't remember the names, but last year I had tried them all. Plus, if you Google the issue. There's a few posts from users reporting the issue on reddit and other forums. I think it's something Samsung changed. Not sure if you can check?

It's here

Yes but they do not have call labs, so that might explain that Samsung has removed a few features

Yeah labs is like a tester then if it works it becomes a feature
