  1. Go to the Home screen;
  2. Tap on Phone;
  3. Select More;
  4. Access Settings;
  5. Head to More Settings;

Galaxy S8 And Galaxy S8 Plus Won’t Show Caller ID – Solution

The Unknown Caller ID on Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus is a feature that anyone can make use of. When activated, the phone’s number will be suppressed and the person called from it will only be able to see a message like “Unknown” or “Private Number” on the display, instead of the actual number.

To make a caller ID blocked call from Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus phone, begin by launching the Phone app. In there, you should see a menu labeled as “MORE” at the top right corner of the screen. When you tap on it, a pop-up menu with several options will show on the screen.

Select the Settings option and you will be redirected to a new screen. Once in there, look for the Other Settings section. Somewhere under this section, you will see an entry labeled as “Your Phone Number”. Select it and you will be facing three options:

  • Hide Number;
  • Network Standard;
  • Show Number.

 

After you select Hide Number, this setting will be automatically sent in direct connection to the mobile operator. Consequently, all your future calls will be initiated with the caller ID hidden, of course, until you get back to these settings and select the Show Number option.
