Samsung Tests One UI 8.5 Card That Reminds You to Call Family

Overview

• The reminder appears in Now Brief/Now Bar and highlights how many days have passed since you last contacted a family member.
• From the card, users can place a call directly or dismiss the suggestion with a Not now button.
• The feature was first spotted via a screenshot shared on X by user NirmalSri and later noted by leaker Ice Universe, with write-ups from SamMobile and Android Central.
• Samsung has not provided an official explanation of how the software identifies family contacts or whether the prompt will be included in the final One UI 8.5 release.
• Coverage describes the feature as present in testing builds, with speculation that it could rely on contact names and recent communication history and with no confirmed opt-out settings beyond dismissal.
