Hi everyone! In front of me I've got Google Pixel 8 and let me share with you how to block a number
0:04
on this device. So in today's video I'd like to show you two different ways of blocking the number
0:14
The first one requires saving the number so you can block the number which you've currently saved
0:19
on your contacts and the second is more manual I would say. So let's start with opening the dialer
0:26
I like to do it right here because thanks to it I've got direct access to both options which I'd
0:33
like to show you today. And let's go to your contacts and find the contact you'd like to block
0:37
and tap on it. Then let's tap on the three dots icon in the right upper corner and tap on block
0:42
number. As you can see your device will inform you that you will no longer receive any incoming
0:47
calls or text messages from this number so simply tap on block if you're ready. And as you can see
0:52
for some reason I'm unable to block the numbers but no worries after blocking the number you will
0:56
see a characteristic icon and the information that the number has been blocked and you will
1:04
simply not receive anything from it. Of course you can unblock it the same way just by tapping
1:09
on the three dots icon and tapping on unblock which will appear in the same place. All right
1:14
let me show you the second way as I said a more manual way of blocking the number. So here all
1:20
we have to do is to enter the settings and it does not really matter whether we will be on the
1:24
contacts, recents or the favorites. Just tap on the three dots icon in the right upper
1:29
corner and enter the settings. Right here in the general section we have to find blocked numbers
1:35
and basically here we've got our blacklist which is empty because for some reason the
1:40
contacts blocking does not work but no worries I'm pretty sure that it will work in your case
1:45
And here we've got the manual way of blocking the number so we have to tap on add a number
1:50
right here and we can freely enter the number manually. We can of course also paste it if we've
1:56
got it copied and then tap on block. And as you can see your device will immediately block the
2:01
number. Here we've got also the option unknown and we can turn that on or off just by tapping
2:07
on the switcher and basically your device will be allowed to block the calls from all unidentified
2:12
callers. So it's up to you whether you need this option or not and of course you can unblock the
2:18
numbers just by tapping on this x button right next to it and whenever you will block the number
2:23
from the contact list you can unblock it also right here the same way just by tapping on the
2:28
x button. All right so that would be all. Thank you so much for watching. I hope that this video
