Block Unknown Numbers on Android

 

How to Block Unknown Callers From Google Phone

First, we’ll show you how to block unknown callers from the “Phone by Google” app. You can download the app from the Play Store and set it as the default dialer. It will ask to be set as default when you install it, but if you miss that you can do so from Settings > Apps >Default Apps > Phone  App.

Now go to the Phone by Google and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.

Select “Settings” from the menu.

Select “Blocked Numbers.”

Toggle the switch on for “Unknown.”

That’s it! You will no longer receive calls from unidentified callers.

Select “Settings” from the menu.

Go to “Block Numbers.”

Toggle the switch on for “Block Unknown/Private Numbers.”

You’re all set!
