Use Built-in Call Blocking Features:
Many Android phones come with built-in call-blocking features. You can usually find these in the Phone app settings. Look for options like “Block numbers,” “Call blocking,” or “Spam protection.” You can manually add numbers to block or enable features that automatically block suspected spam calls.
Third-Party Call Blocking Apps:
There are several third-party apps available on the Google Play Store specifically designed to block spam calls. Look for apps like Truecaller, Hiya, or Nomorobo. These apps often have extensive databases of known spam numbers and can automatically block them for you.
Carrier Services:
Some mobile carriers offer call-blocking services as part of their plans. Check with your carrier to see if they provide any tools or services to help block spam calls. They may have their own app or feature that you can use.
Do Not Disturb Mode:
Utilize the “Do Not Disturb” mode on your phone. You can set it up to allow calls only from your contacts or specific numbers. This won’t block the calls, but it will prevent them from bothering you during certain times or situations.
Report Spam Calls:
Whenever you receive a spam call, make sure to report it. Many call-blocking apps and services rely on user reports to update their databases and improve their effectiveness in blocking spam calls.
