How To Add A Contact To The Blacklist On Android

It happens that you are called from some numbers from which you did not want to receive calls, and for this you have come up with the option to add an unnecessary number to the black list and android is no exception, it also has such a function. Of course, there are many applications that allow you to add a number from the phone book to the black list, and for android there are a huge number of such applications including free applications. You can easily download and install any on your android free app to block incoming calls from unwanted contacts both from the playmarket and from other sources. In the same article, we will see how to add a number to the blacklist on an android from the contact list without resorting to the help of additionally downloaded and installed programs, but use the already built-in android function.

Since there are different versions of Android on Android smartphones, the ways of adding a contact to the black list may also be slightly different, here we will look at different options. I also want to say that the number that we want to add to the black list should be stored in the phone’s memory, and not in the SIM card’s memory.

1) The first method is easier and is suitable for Android version 4.0 and higher. Open “Contacts” select the desired number from the list of contacts that is stored in the phone’s memory and open “Menu” (the menu for working with a contact can be opened by clicking on the icon at the bottom of the screen in the form of three horizontal bold dots). In the menu that opens, opposite the item “Incoming call blocking” put a tick. Now all incoming calls from the number from the black list will be blocked. To enable the call again, uncheck the box.

2) The second method also allows blacklist, but for Android version below 4.0. Also, the contact must be stored in the phone. To add a contact to the black list on android, go to “Settings” and select the item “Challenges” farther “All challenges” and “Call rejection”. Now find the item “Black list” then “Add” and check the box opposite “Enable blacklist“. Next, go to the contacts and call “Menu” (to call up the menu, click on the contact and hold without releasing your finger until the menu appears) in it we select “Add to blacklist“. In order to again allow receiving a call from a blocked number, you need to uncheck the box that we set.
