This guide will walk you through the steps to disable the caller name announcement feature on your Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra. If the caller name announcement is enabled and you find it unnecessary or distracting, follow these steps to turn it off easily.
Step 1: Open the Phone App
Begin by tapping on the Phone icon on your home screen or in your app drawer. This is the app you use to make and receive calls.
Step 2: Access Call Settings
Once the Phone app is open, locate the Menu button (three dots) in the top right corner. Tap it to open a dropdown menu, then select Settings from the options available.
Step 3: Find the Caller ID and Spam Protection Option
In the settings menu, scroll down until you see the Caller ID and Spam protection or a similarly named option. Tap on it to open the related settings.

Within the Caller ID settings, look for an option labeled Caller Name Announcement. If it is currently enabled, tap the toggle switch to turn it off. This will deactivate the feature and prevent the phone from announcing the caller’s name.
Step 5: Confirm Your Changes
After disabling the caller name announcement, it’s good practice to test your phone. Make a call from another device to ensure that the feature has been successfully turned off and that the caller’s name is no longer announced.

- Ensure your device software is up to date. Go to Settings > Software Update and check for updates.
