Your Essential Guide To Making Phone Calls On the Samsung Galaxy S25

i want to go over how to make calls and what it looks like when a call is coming through the phone let's start with making calls you're going to tap on the phone icon in the bottom left corner and you'll want to tap on keypad now just the first thing this first menu here we're on recents this is just our call log so you can see what calls have already happened on your phone and you can actually easily call someone back if they're in your call log by simply swiping to the right like this if you notice when I started swiping the button turned green and it says call you can also send that person a text message by swiping to the left and it says messages so that's just a cool little shortcut in uh connecting with people you've already made calls to now if you want to call a number that you haven't called in a while or never you're going to tap on keypad and here you'll need to dial the phone number so area code first there we go so I just typed in a phone number and notice at the top here it recommended a contact so I dialed a number of someone who is already saved in my contacts so I can tap here and basically the phone will begin to recommend a contact as you start typing so you may not even need to type in the whole phone number so now that our number is in I'm simply going to tap on the call button at the bottom here to initiate a phone call you can also tap on this button here if you're trying to initiate a video call and it would do that using Google Meet let's tap on the phone button here it's initiating the call when you see it begin to count up that means that the call is connected and that person should be on the line if you want to put the call on speaker you can tap on the speaker button right here you've got mute you have keypad here if you need to dial a command for example press three for the operator press five for this you can tap it here and if you want to add someone to the call turn it into a three-way call you can simply tap on the plus to add a call you also have what is called call assist and you can u set up a live translate so that it'll translate the call if it's in a if the person is speaking in a different language so that's pretty cool too when you're finished with the call you're going to tap on the red button and that's going to end the call and that's it okay so that's a brief rundown of just making calls next let's go over what it will look like when a call is coming through the phone i'm going to initiate a call so you can see what it looks like so there's the call coming through you're going to tap on the green button to answer the call or tap the red button to decline it let's answer it all right so our call has come through and again you have all the same oncreen call options and you'll tap the red button when you're ready to end the call now now I want to show you one more thing i'm going to initiate that call one more time now let's say you don't want to answer the phone but you want to send that person a text message with a with letting them know why I can't answer you can tap on here where it says send message and it will recommend these three options here and I tapped it too fast but the three options basically say um can't talk now um or send me a text message or you can type your own custom message so that there's a button at the very bottom that says um send your own message so that's another way to decline a call but you can at least send them a message saying "Hey I'm busy right now okay so that's what it looks like when a call is coming through but that's what it looks like when a call comes through and you're using the phone if the phone was sitting on the table and a call came through it would look different let's go over that scenario next a call is coming through you're going to see it pop up on screen now guess what tapping the buttons are not going to work in this menu you actually have to put your finger on the bubble and you have to drag or swipe up like this that's how you answer the phone when you're not using it and a call comes through let me initiate one more call here i want to show you that one more time it's the same thing for for answering or declining put your finger on the button and drag you can also at the bottom it says send message you can swipe up from the bottom and it'll bring up that menu that will let you send a message as you're declining it hey uh please text me write a new message i'm going to tap please text me you can also tap the bubble for remind me in 1 hour and it will set a reminder that you need to call that person back okay so that's what the call menus are going to look like and um it takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't used a Samsung phone before but a couple of times you'll get it and it won't be a big deal for you if you're getting value out of the video so far please take a minute and make sure you bump that like button down below really appreciate your support in that all right you'll notice over the phone button there's a a red one and what that means is it means you have a missed call it means someone tried to call you you didn't answer it so it's a missed call so if I tap on the phone button and I go to recent it's going to show up that I have a missed call from Wayne Wonder and again I can drag to the right to call that person back or I can swipe to the left to send them a message if you want to watch the full video that this is from my A16 for beginner video check out that link to the left and to the right you'll find a link to my full playlist with all my
