Hi everyone! In front of me I've got a Sony Xperia 1 Mark IV and let me share
0:06
with you how to block a number on this device. So first of all let's open the dialer and just a quick disclaimer we've got
0:17
two different ways to block a number. The first one requires your contact list so
0:22
you can block the number which you've got currently saved and the second is
0:26
using the settings and of course I'll show you both. So let's begin with
0:30
the contacts. As you can see I've got them opened so let's tap on the contact
0:36
you'd like to block and now let's tap on the three dots icon in the right upper
0:39
corner. Tap on block numbers and tap on block. If you want to report it as a spam
0:45
just leave this option ticked. I don't want to do it so let me untick it and
0:49
tap on block. And as you can see right here we've got this characteristic icon
0:53
what's more we've got the information that this number has been blocked which
0:57
simply means that you will not receive any incoming calls or text messages from
1:01
this number. Of course if you want you can unblock it the same way just
1:06
tap on unblock numbers but let's leave it like this. We will check if it will appear on the blacklist. So now we can go back and here in the second way it
1:16
doesn't really matter if you will be on the contacts, recents or the favorites
1:19
and just tap on the three dots icon in the right upper corner and enter the
1:23
settings. Now let's tap on blocked numbers and as you can see and this is
1:28
our blacklist and that's the number we just blocked from our contacts which
1:33
simply means that everything went fine and we successfully blocked a number
1:37
Here from this step you can also add a number but this time it will
1:41
be different because after tapping on this option you can enter it manually so
1:45
you do not have to have it saved. Just unblock and as you can see it will
1:50
immediately appear on the blacklist. What's more at the very top we've got
1:54
three different options so for example we've got numbers not in contact which
1:59
simply means that your device will block all incoming calls from the numbers
2:03
which are not currently saved on your device in the contact list. So we can
2:08
turn it on or off just by tapping on the switcher. Here we've got the private
2:12
option which simply means that your device will block the numbers which
2:18
are hidden or the unknown so unidentified callers. The same situation can turn it on or off just by tapping on the switcher next to the option. If you
2:27
want to unblock a number nothing easier just tap on this X button right next to
2:31
it and tap on unblock. So actually this is it this is how to block a number in
2:37
your Sony Xperia 1 Mark IV. Thank you so much for watching I hope that
