How to See Blocked Numbers on Android and Manage Them
1 min read
Summary
The latest Android phones contain a block list to filter out unwanted calls, avoiding disruptions from scammers, stalkers and robocalls.
To see who has been blocked, go to the phone app and click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner, and select Settings, then Blocked numbers, to see a list of recently blocked numbers.
To unblock a number, select the X next to the number; to add a number to the block list, select Add a Phone Number and either manually enter a number or pick one from a list of recent calls.
The process is similar on Samsung Galaxy phones, via the Samsung Phone app, and Google phones, via the Google Phone app, with both apps having the ability to block numbers.
Alternatively, the Google Contacts and Google Messages apps can be used to manage blocked numbers, while WhatsApp manages blocked numbers through its Privacy section.
