Hiya Extends Partnership with Samsung to Bring its Leading Caller and Business Profile Services to the Note 8

From Pizza to Nightlife, Hiya Reveals Top Local Mobile Business Search Activity From Within the Phone's Dialer

Hiya, the leading source for caller profile and business profile services, today announced that it has extended its partnership with Samsung to include the integration of its caller ID, spam detection and business search services into the Galaxy Note 8. Available in 28 countries, users of the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Note 8 and all A-Series and J-series devices will now benefit from the experience that Hiya Business Profiles provides on Samsung Places.

"Most mobile business searches originate on web search or third-party apps even when the intent is to place a call," said Mayur Kamat, VP Product at Hiya. "Hiya and Samsung are working on reinventing the Dialer, making it the best way to search for and call anyone -- your friends, your neighborhood business or your airline. Whether you want to find the best place to grab a bite, or a restaurant that is open past midnight, you can now do so right from within the Note 8, A-Series and J-Series' Phone apps."

Available in 28 countries, users of the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Note 8 and all A-Series and J-series devices will now benefit from the experience that Hiya Business Profiles provides on Samsung Places.
