On some note 8s and s8s, I've seen another tab called places, found in the phone section. I don't seem to have this. How do I enable it?

Is it the feature similar to the one in the below link @Ennam ?

 

Samsung Support Faq > Places <

 

 


Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

Yes, that's the one. I don't have that tab at all. My first note 8 (had to return for a different one) had it, but my current note 8 doesn't?

When you launch your phone app where the three options are at the top....

 

Recents.         Contacts          Places

 

Whats showing in place of the Places tab ?

 

Can you screen shot it ?

 

Can you clear the phone App Cache and data ?

Maybe a moderator can chime in at this stage :smiling-face:

 

I would normally say that sometimes features can be ommited due to the network being used  / the firmware type i.e. a networks version or Samsung's on a btu CsC Code  / country dependant _ but as you state you've had it on a previous same model!

 

One very very last resort could be a back up and factory reset!!

 

Who supplied your phone ? I ask because from googling just now others seem to believe it's a Network removed item @Ennam

Definitely an odd one. The simulator our tech support peeps go by has the Places tab:

Could indeed be something network related (not pointing any specific fingers, but I came across something similar for the S8 here: https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Android/Places-tab-on-dialer-S8-S8/td-p/2560440 for example).

 

Like BandOfBrothers suggested, it might be worth doing a data backup and reset to start again with the phone setup.
