Samsung is a leading brand in mobile phones across the globe for several reasons.

Like most cell phone brands, Samsung comes with built-in features one of which is its incall user interface.

What com.samsung.android.incallui is?

IncallUI stands for “In Call User Interface”. It simply runs the basic mechanics of your actual phone application.

This is the folder in your storage that contains the data related to the user interface that is shown on your mobile when you call someone.

In simple words, it is the interface that allows you to receive a call, put it on loudspeaker, record it, and so on.

The incallui consists of a call screen that you interact with and shows you caller ID. To make it clear, the following buttons appear on your screen because of it:

The hang-up button
The keypad
The speaker button

Every application in your phone has the same naming convention for example:

Messaging :com.samsung.android.messaging
Gmail: http://com.google.android.gm
Outlook: com.microsoft.office.outlook

Further allows you to:

Disconnect the call
Record the call
Mute the call
Put the call on hold
Use the home button to access other applications
Send messages to other people while on call
Use the in-built notes that allows you to save a number
Add other people on the call (group call)
Disable the screen so you do not accidentally touch other applications while on call

Can I Uninstall it?

Since it is a built-in Samsung service that allows you to make and receive calls, you cannot delete it because then you would not be able to see the dial pad and many other features related to calls.

Although there is no option to remove the Incall UI from your device, you can prevent it from running in the background.

This will disable the UI only to a small extent, it will be activated as soon as you make a call or receive one. Follow the following steps to disable Incall UI:

Navigate to settings –> apps

Next, go to the system apps and remove all options that resemble com.samsung.android.incallui.

Is com.samsung.android.incallui being used for hacking?

No, it is only used for providing you with an interface that you can use to make and receive calls. Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with hacking.

Besides this, other applications are running in the background that assists to provide you with an easy-to-use interface.

Now let us take a look at how you can access it.

Why is INCALL Used?

Incall UI makes it easy for you to take calls and identify who is calling. The user-friendly interface further helps you to use different features such as declining a call, holding a call, and so on.
