Hi everyone, here we've got Samsung Galaxy S21 and let me share with you how to block
0:11
a number or a contact on this device. And I said a number or a contact because we've got two different ways to block someone and
0:21
we can do it using directly our contact list or using the dialer settings
0:26
So of course I'll show you both options. Let's begin with the contact list so let's tap on the dialer, go to your contacts and
0:34
find the contact you'd like to block. Let's tap on it and tap on this info icon
0:40
Now all you have to do is tap on more here and as you can see here we've got the block
0:44
contact option so simply tap on it and your device will ask you if you really want to
0:49
do it because you will no longer receive any incoming calls or text messages from this
0:53
contact so if you are ready tap on block. And as you can see by this icon this number is blocked so as I said you won't receive
1:02
any calls or texts from it. Of course you can unblock it the same way just by tapping on unblock contact here but
1:08
let me leave it blocked because we will check if it appeared on our blacklist actually
1:14
So now I can show you the second option, the second way to block a number or a contact
1:20
also and now it doesn't really matter if it will be on your contacts, recents or the keypad
1:26
All you have to do is simply tap on this 3 second in the right upper corner and tap
1:30
on the settings. On the very first position we've got the blocked number so let's tap on it and as you can see
1:37
here we've got our blacklist and this is the number we just blocked from our contact list
1:43
What's more you can see that we can add a phone number manually but we can also add
1:48
it from the recents and the contacts so as you can see this is another way to add the
1:55
number from the contacts but here it is let's say easier because you can block a lot of
2:03
contacts with one click actually without having to do it manually. What's more above it we've got block unknown and private numbers option which is right
2:14
now turned off but you can turn it on just by tapping on this switcher and thanks to
2:18
this your device from now on will block all private numbers and you won't receive any
2:24
calls from them. So let me show you how to add a phone number manually and again from the contacts because
2:34
as I said it's a little bit different than adding it directly from the contacts so let
2:39
me tap on contacts and as you can see we've been transferred to the contact list and here
2:44
you can choose actually multiple numbers which you'd like to block so let me tap on it and
2:50
as you can see it is marked so I can mark a lot of numbers which I would like to block
2:58
If you are ready just tap on done and as you can see they immediately appears on our list
3:04
Of course we can add the phone number manually just tap on this space here
3:08
We've got the keypad opened so we can freely enter the number and tap on this plus icon
3:13
if you are done. As you can see it is also immediately applied right here and from now on you won't receive
3:18
any incoming calls or text messages from those old numbers and of course you can unblock
3:25
them just by tapping on this minus icon right next to them
3:31
So let me unblock all of them and as you can see the our blacklist is empty right now
3:40
So actually that's all. This is how to block a number in your Samsung Galaxy S21
