Blocking methods vary by device

The exact process for blocking numbers differs based on the specific Android device a user owns. Most phones allow access to these features through the standard Phone or Contacts app.

Samsung offers two options

Samsung devices provide two distinct ways to block calls, one using the Contacts app and another for unsaved numbers via the Phone app. Users must open the relevant application and select the contact they wish to restrict.

Unblocking is also possible

If a user changes their mind about a banned number, they can unblock it directly from the same applications. The Phone or Contacts app serves as the primary location for managing these restrictions.
