Blacklist (or regular blocking) is the name of a special function thanks to which a subscriber can ignore unnecessary calls. By the way, the user will not understand that he is on this list.

Adding to the “Black List” on Android below 4.0
On Android versions below 4.0, the subscriber number you want to block must be in the contact list on your phone. In older versions of the operating system, you will first have to activate the “Black List” function and only then add a contact:

In order to return everything to its place, again go to the “Black List” menu through “Settings” and uncheck the box that was checked earlier.
Adding to the “Black List” on Android above 4.0
Adding a number to the blacklist on smartphones with Android above 4.0 will be slightly different:
- Open the list of contacts and calls.
- Select the number you want to block. In the upper right corner of the contact there is a settings menu, depicted as three bold dots located horizontally. After clicking, a list will be displayed.
- There may be two variants of the same option: “Block incoming call” or “Only voice mail"(varies depending on the OS version). In both cases, we need to check the box next to the inscription, after which the contact will be automatically blocked.
To return everything back, just uncheck the “Blocking incoming call” (“Voice mail only”) option.

Possible problems and solutions
The main thing is that when you download and install the program, do it only with the help of official or trusted sources (Play Market or AppStore). Otherwise, you risk catching malicious software on your phone. software. With its help, attackers can easily figure out the contacts of the people with whom you communicate, your personal number phone and steal a huge amount of confidential data (especially if you often correspond via SMS messages). If you still use unverified sources, for example, forums where “firmware” versions of programs are posted, then install anti-virus software in advance.
When using a blacklist, one serious problem can arise - after adding a person to the blacklist, you can miss some important event. If you use an additional utility, then the person will not be able to let you know about it at all, because incoming messages will also be blocked. Also, be careful when dialing a number when adding a contact to the blacklist, so that another person does not accidentally end up there. Usually no one experiences any other serious troubles when working with blacklists (especially built-in ones).
Every owner of a smartphone running the Android operating system can quickly block unwanted contacts. Traditional tools of the operating system itself will help with this, and additional applications. If it doesn’t matter whether you receive SMS from a blocked subscriber and you don’t need to set a specific time and date, then use the standard options. In all other cases, various applications will come to the rescue. After blocking, neither calls from the blocked subscriber nor SMS messages will bother you.
