How to block calls on your Android phone
If you’re sick of getting calls from telemarketers or other unwanted callers, you can block them on your Android phone. Blocking a number on your Android phone is easy to do and only takes a few seconds.
First, open the Phone app on your Android phone and tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner. Next, select “Settings” from the menu.
Then, scroll down and tap “Blocked numbers.” Here, you’ll see a list of numbers that you’ve already blocked. To block a new number, tap “Add a number” and enter the number you want to block.
You can also block numbers from your call history or contact list by tapping on the number and selecting “Block.” When you block a number on your Android phone, it will no longer be able to call or text you.
How to block texts on your Android phone
Blocking texts on your Android phone is a pretty simple process. Just follow these steps:
1. Open the Messages app on your Android phone.
2. Tap on the Menu button (three dots in the upper right-hand corner).
3. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
4. Tap on Blocked numbers.
5. Enter the number you want to block, then tap Block.
You can also block numbers from your contact list by going to Settings > Blocked numbers and tapping on the name of the person you want to block.
How to blocking unknown numbers
If you’re sick of getting calls and texts from unknown numbers, there are a few things you can do to block them.
First, you can add the number to your blocked list. To do this, open the Phone app and tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Tap on “Settings” and then “Block numbers.” Here, you can enter in the number you want to block. Once it’s been added, you’ll no longer receive calls or texts from that number.
You can also use a third-party call blocker app. There are a few different ones available, so just choose the one that’s right for you. Once installed, these apps will give you more control over which numbers are able to get through to you.
Finally, if you’re really fed up with unwanted calls and texts, you can always just turn off your phone’s ability to receive them altogether. Of course, this isn’t ideal if people actually need to get in touch with you, but it’s a surefire way to stop those pesky unknown numbers from reaching you.
