TL;DR
- Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5 update is expected to include a new automatic call screening feature.
- New code suggests that users will have multiple control options to customize when automatic call screening is in use, similar to Pixels.
- The update could also let AI answer your calls after a certain amount of time.
Update: October 9, 2025 (5:05 AM ET): Galaxy Techie on Twitter posted a series of screenshots highlighting this new call screening feature, which is apparently called Auto answer with AI. Check out the images below.
One key feature seen in the screenshots is that you can let AI automatically screen a call after a certain amount of time. This time period varies from five to 30 seconds, although there’s also a custom option. It’s unclear whether this applies to any call, but it certainly suggests as much. Another screenshot adds that you can interrupt the AI at any time to respond, or wait for the call to end to receive a transcript.
