Unwanted Calls: Learn to Block Any Nuisance

It is possible to reduce the amount of calls from unknown numbers you receive on your phone throughout the day.

Whether on iOS or Android, both have forms and applications that help block unwanted calls once and for all. In addition, there is also a service, “Do not disturb me”, launched by the Federal Government in 2019, which is a website on which you register and request the blocking of telemarketing calls.

How to block calls on Android?

This operating system has built-in tools that help block unwanted calls. Now see how to configure it, accessing the following steps:

  • Open the native application “Phone”;
  • On the application's home screen, access the menu by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner;
  • Select the “Settings” option;
  • Enable the option “Caller ID and spam protection”;
  • Then enable the option “Block spam and scam calls.

Additionally, you can choose to block high-risk scam calls only, or block all calls identified as spam and scam. By activating these options, the Android cell phone identifies which are spam or scam calls and automatically blocks them.

Despite this, its efficiency is good but does not reach 100% and, therefore, some numbers end up being able to complete the call. Soon, we will present another way to block these specific numbers:

  • Open the “Phone” application;
  • Click on the “Recent” tab;
  • Find the number you want to block and tap on it;
  • Select the option “Block this number”;
  • Tap the “Block” option in the bottom menu.

Repeat this with all the numbers you want to block and prevent them from calling you.

How to block unwanted calls on iOS

On iOS, on the other hand, it is also possible to block specific numbers and unknown calls, but in a different way. See how:

  • Open the “Phone” app;
  • Select the “Recent” option;
  • Find the number you want to block and tap on it;
  • On the next screen, select the “Block this caller” option;
  • Confirm by pressing “Block contact”.

That's it, this way you will no longer be bothered to receive calls from this contact.

do not disturb me

As mentioned before, in 2019, the federal government published a registration service in which the user can opt out of receiving any telephone calls from telemarketing services. To do so, simply enter the “Do Not Disturb Me” website, create your own account and select the desired options.

call blocker apps

Finally, there are also some applications that can help those who want to block unwanted calls. While these previously mentioned native solutions go a long way in mitigating this issue together with “Do not disturb me”, some people still decide to use third-party applications that help in this task. See some:

  • Truecaller (Android and iOS);
  • Hyia (Android and iOS);
  • Whoscall (Android and iOS);
  • Should I Answer (Android and iOS).

Ready! Now you know how to avoid unknown numbers calling you to offer products and services. The procedures shown in this article are not 100% effective, as one or another number ends up passing through this filter. However, in fact, it will help you to significantly reduce the amount of unwanted calls.
