Samsung Phone App in One UI 9.5 May Move Search Bar to Bottom

Samsung is preparing a user interface tweak for its Phone app that will move the search icon from the top of the screen to the bottom alongside the Keypad, Recents, and Contacts buttons. This change is designed to make searching for numbers and contacts easier, particularly for users with larger devices who struggle to reach the top of the display. In addition to the relocated button, the update includes subtle modifications to the search menu itself, such as a new "Search" header and altered placeholder text inside the search bar. While discovered in an early version of One UI 9.5, users are hoping these accessibility improvements might eventually roll out to older devices through a standard app update.
