Efficient Methods
Use the Built-in Call Blocking Feature
– Open the default Phone app on your Android device. – Find the number you want to block in your call log. – Tap on the number, then select "Block/report spam." Confirm the action, and the number will be blocked.
Enable Google’s Spam Protection
– Open the Phone app, then tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. – Select "Settings," then go to "Caller ID & spam." – Turn on the "Filter spam calls" option. This will automatically block or warn you about suspected spam calls.
Use a Third-Party App
Download and install a reputable call-blocking app like Truecaller, Hiya, or RoboKiller from the Google Play Store. Follow the app’s instructions to set up call blocking and spam detection. These apps often have large databases of spam numbers and can block them automatically.
Report Spam Calls
When you receive a spam call, you can report it directly from the phone app by selecting "Block/report spam." This helps improve spam detection for others as well.
Do Not Disturb Mode
Go to "Settings" > "Sound" > "Do Not Disturb." Set Do Not Disturb to allow calls only from your contacts or favorite contacts. This will silence all other calls, which can help avoid spam
Mobile Carrier Services
Some mobile carriers offer spam-blocking services. Contact your carrier to inquire about and activate these services, if available.
