There are times when you might not want to take a chance on your phone number ending up in the hands of the wrong person. Maybe you need to make a call to someone or a company that you’re not entirely comfortable with. In cases like these, it’s a good idea to either block or conceal your caller ID. This post will show you how to hide caller ID and caller information on Samsung Galaxy S24, S23, S22, and other Galaxy phones.
On the latest Android smartphones, you have the power to tweak these settings right on your device. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S23 gives you the option to either keep your caller ID hidden or display it when you make a call. This feature extends to its sibling phones too, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23+ and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
How to Hide Caller ID on Samsung Galaxy Phones
Many Android phones like Samsung Galaxy come with a handy built-in feature that lets you hide your caller ID. You can usually do this by going into the settings on your Android phone and disabling the caller ID option.
Before you start dialing, it’s a good idea to check if the caller ID block is working. You can do this by calling another one of your own numbers or reaching out to someone you trust.
It’s worth noting, though, that some mobile carriers might not support this feature or could charge you a fee to use it. Additionally, if your phone is locked to a specific carrier, they may have their own method for setting up caller ID blocking.
1. Open the Phone app on your Galaxy phone.
2. Tap the 3 dots menu at the top right-hand side and select Settings.
3. Scroll down and select Supplementary services.
4. Tap on Show your caller ID and choose “Never“. After you’ve selected this option, your caller ID will be hidden for every call you make.
If you’d like to show your caller ID all the time, then tap on “Always”.
