I’ve always loved the full-screen photo caller ID feature for incoming calls. It just adds a nice personal touch. Seeing only a name and a tiny little profile picture on the screen is boring. Fortunately, Samsung Galaxy phones can now display a full-screen photo of the caller natively so no 3rd party apps or workarounds are required.
If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy phone with One UI 6.1, you can enable full-screen caller images natively. It is easy to check which Android and OneUI version you are using. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Phone app on your Samsung Galaxy and open the contact for which you want to set a full-screen caller image.
- Tap Edit and then hit the Create profile card button at the top left.
- Select a photo from the Gallery app. You’ll then see some fun customization options, like adding text or effects to your contact image.
- Once you’re finished with editing, tap Done.
As you can see in the screenshot below, when I receive a call from my friend, his photo appears full-screen on my Samsung Galaxy phone.
As for the customization options, they’re pretty cool. You can change the font style, size, and colors in the text section. In the effects section, you can blur the photo, add a greyscale background, or try out effects like pastel and oil paint, and then in the Portrait Studio you can turn the photo into a different art style for your contact image.
That’s all for now! I hope this quick guide helps you set up full-screen caller photos on your Galaxy phone. Since not many people seem to know about this feature, don’t forget to share it with your friends and family who also use Samsung Galaxy phones!
