How to add a number to Samsung's blacklist via apps

Blacklist, which is built into the smartphone, is impossible to set up. If you receive a lot of unwanted calls, then the best option is to download a special app. It will allow you to set up a blacklist according to your wishes. The following applications are available in the store Google Play a lot. In the search bar, enter the name of the application you want to find and download it. We, on the other hand, advise such applications.

Black List

An easy-to-manage application that can block not only calls but also messages. You can manually specify unwanted numbers. Supports blocking even hidden numbers, which is quite a rarity. There is an option to automatically block all incoming calls or made only in messengers.

There is also a "White List" feature that works the other way around and prevents you from deleting, changing, or blocking very important contacts.

Thus, the program is ideal for users working with a large number of people who don't have time for detailed setup and learning the intricate interface. Simple, fast and comfortable - the main advantages of the "Blacklist" application.

Black List +

A slightly improved application from the same developer. With it you can enter not just one number, but an entire group, and set different lock modes. There is PRO version, with the ability to set a password, and many other tricks.

But the free version is also good in its functionality:

1. There are several lock modes;
2. You can set the time at which incoming calls are automatically cut off without waiting for the caller. This is a great option for night hours or during important work.
3. All calls made by blocked people will not be shown in the general "Phonebook". This will allow you to avoid littering the list with unnecessary information.
4. All details about blocked contacts are in a special archive of the application.

Call Blocker

Minimal settings and a simplified interface are the main advantages of this program. You can enable receiving calls only from popular operators, prohibiting robots (cabs, advertisements, etc.) from sending messages or making calls to your number.

Blacklist - calls and texts

The application gives you the opportunity to add numbers to the emergency numbering system in several ways. Unlike all other applications, this one has the option of blocking messages and calls not from digital, but from letter numberswhich is where all kinds of spam usually comes from.

Q: Will the caller know that I added him/her to the Blacklist?
Normally, this information is not given to him. There will just be short ring tones followed by a reset, or the robot's reply that the user is unavailable at the moment.

Question: If I have blocked a certain number for calls, will I receive SMS from it?
It depends on the program. In most cases, applications allow you to choose for what purposes you place an ES: calls, messages, or both.

No third-party applications are required there. This messenger has a system blocking option. To turn it on, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and click "Lock.".

You are, but he will not be able to call back.

You'll get silent notifications letting you know that you've missed a certain number of calls from a certain number. On newer versions of the operating system, mostly Android 7 and 8, you can customize the notifications to your liking and turn off the ones you don't need.
