Blacklist on your phone: what is it and how to use it to block calls and SMS

Let's look at how to remove a person from the blacklist on your phone, social network or popular program.

Black list

(also “blacklist” or abbreviated as emergency) is a function built into most phones and programs that allows you to limit the circle of contacts.

Thus, the user can protect himself from calls from unwanted numbers or incoming messages.

You can block contacts both on a regular phone and on a social network, game or desktop program.

Also, there are special programs for managing blacklists on. The owner of the gadget can delete a contact from the emergency situation at any time.

Blacklist functions:

Blocking incoming messages and sending multimedia files;
Limiting viewing of your account (this feature is used by social networks);
Blocking incoming calls.

The above functions can be used by the phone and the social network either individually or in combination.

Smartphone with Android OS

Emergency on Android allows you to block any contact from the phone book or a new incoming number.

You cannot add to the blacklist only those subscribers whose number is recognized as “Unknown”.

Often, users add numbers to the blacklist by mistake, because for this action it is enough to press one key in the menu.

If you encounter a problem in which another user cannot reach you even in stable cellular network mode, check his contact - most likely, he is simply in an emergency.

Features of blacklist in Android:

The user can view all incoming messages from blocked numbers at any time
. They arrive on the phone, but are saved in the “Spam” or “Blocked SMS” folder (the name of the folder depends on the OS firmware version). At the same time, unwanted SMS are not displayed in the main window of the Messages application;
Texts and calls from blocked numbers come without a notification tone
. You can see the list of missed calls in the “Blacklist calls” directory.

The method of removal from the emergency depends on the installed version of the system. There are only three ways to remove a contact from the blacklist - for versions of
Android 5x, 6x, 7x
generations, for
Android 4x
.

Follow the instructions to remove another subscriber from the blacklist on Android. For

In the upper right corner, click on the “Options” field;

In the drop-down list, click on the “Settings” item and in a new window open the line “Block messages”;

It is possible to configure blocking only certain phrases and words. Click on “Block List” to see the blacklist;

A list of emergency numbers will appear in a new window.

To, click on the minus sign on the right next to the desired phone.

Blocking an incoming call using native Android tools

The “Black List” option on older versions of Android - 2.3.3-2.3.7, is located in the “Phone” application menu. To block calls from a specific subscriber, you need to go to the call log, find the desired number in it, long-tap to open its context menu and select “Add contact to blacklist.”

To block unwanted calls on Android 4.0 and later versions, do the following:

Save the number of the person you do not want to communicate with to your phone. If the contact is stored only in the SIM card memory, you will not be able to block it.
Launch the Contacts application.
Select a number from the list and open the settings menu (by touching the button in the form of three dots in the upper right corner).

Select the “Directly block incoming call” checkbox.

Now calls from this number will be dropped after the first ring, but SMS and MMS will still be received.

Remove a contact from emergency in Windows Phone

If you are an operating system user and need to remove a contact from the blacklist, use a spam filter.

This is a built-in option with which the system filters out unwanted numbers and advertising mailings.

Often, owners of smartphones on Windows are faced with the fact that the system mistakenly identifies the phone number as unwanted.

Based on the text of the messages sent, some words can be identified as advertising, which is why the contact is added to the emergency situation.

To remove a number from the blacklist, follow the instructions:

1 Go to “Call Log”

;

2 Then in the lower left corner of the screen, click on the “Options”

;

3 In the pop-up window, select Blocked Calls

;

5 Touch and hold the desired contact until the system menu appears. Click on “Unblock”

and wait for a notification that the action was completed successfully.

The above method works on all Lumia and Microsoft smartphones.

Don't forget to check the number of blocked numbers or messages in your spam filter settings to make sure the number is successfully activated.

Push-button Samsung

Now let's look at how to remove a contact from the blacklist in a Samsung feature phone, where the menu structure is slightly different. To remove a subscriber from the list, do the following:

go to Settings, and then click on Applications;
go to the Calls and All calls section;
find the Blacklist item.

After entering the menu, there will be enable and disable checkboxes, as well as an emergency that needs to be opened. Next, you need to uncheck the required subscriber or remove it altogether. This principle can be used for almost all Samsung push-button devices. But keep in mind that the location of the emergency situation and the name of the items may differ slightly for different Samsung devices.

Feature phones

Owners of push-button phones also have the opportunity to add numbers to the blacklist and remove them from there.

Since regular mobile phones can be installed with the manufacturer’s OS or a simpler one, Bada, the principle of deleting a number from an emergency is the same:

Go to the “Settings” window;
Select the "Calls" or "Calls" field;
Open the “Black List” section and delete the desired item.

The unblocked contact will again be able to send you messages and voice calls.

Social media

The “Black List” function can be found not only in phones, but also in all popular social networks.

By blocking other users, you limit the number of people who can send you text messages, call you, or post information on your wall.

Also, the blocked contact is removed from friends/followers and will no longer be able to view your photos or posts.

VK

Adding a user to an emergency situation is very simple. Just go to his page and select “Block” under the photo.

To unblock, you can go to his page again at any time and click on “Unblock”.

There is another way to interact with emergencies on the VKontakte website.

Go to settings. Click on the “Black List” item on the right side of the window.

Facebook

Also allows you to manage your own blacklist.

The only peculiarity is that a blocked person will no longer be able to view your page or even go to its address.

Also, your profile will not be available in his search or timeline.

To unblock another account, go to your page settings:

On the left side of the window, click on the item “Block”. Then next to the username click on “Unblock”:

Classmates

Follow the instructions to remove a user from your emergency situation on the Odnoklassniki social network:

Instructions

Next to each name there is a sign, for example a flag or an empty square. Remove this sign from the number you need. This will mean that the subscriber with this number has been removed from the black list. Now, as before, he can call you, and you can receive incoming calls and messages from him. The sequence of the described actions may differ slightly, depending on the modification of the phones.

Access to the portal

By managing your settings, you can decide which calls you want to send to junk voicemail. Customers with this service can send calls to their junk voicemail by setting the following settings.

Three types of calls: ✓ International numbers ✓ Held numbers ✓ Unrecognized numbers. Calls from these numbers will be sent to your machine. .

Touch and hold the number of the person you want to remove from the blacklist. A menu will appear on the screen with a list of actions that you can perform with this number. Find the line “Remove from blacklist” in the list. By clicking on it, a notification will appear on the phone screen in which you will find information that the subscriber’s number has been successfully removed from the black list.

You can add a number from the last call you received by pressing 1. . Remember that you can add a maximum of 100 numbers to your personal blacklist, but you can remove ones you no longer need to free up space. You cannot add numbers that are not recognized. However, for hidden numbers, although you cannot see the number, we can, which means we can add it to your "Personal Blacklist".

My personal blacklist is full; how to delete numbers? Doctor and hospital surgeries sometimes receive calls from held numbers. If you are expecting calls from these numbers, you should avoid sending hidden numbers to your unwanted voicemail through your call type settings.

Be careful when using your mobile phone applications. Do not make mistakes because this may lead to you accidentally adding someone's number from your contacts to the Black List. And without knowing it, you may miss an important and necessary call.

Therefore, it is better to first find out for yourself whether a similar situation will happen again and whether it is worth risking your peace of mind.

What is a blacklist for?

To avoid conversations with unwanted callers, a blacklist function was invented. This is a special folder into which you can add almost any number. Each subscriber included in the emergency situation will not be able to reach the recipient who has blocked him.

The function is provided on different platforms where people communicate:

In phone.
In messengers.
In social networks.

If a person is added to the emergency situation on the phone, he can still contact through instant messengers and social networks. Therefore, you need to block the number on all sites at once.

In this material we will talk about the blacklist in the classic view. That is, about those blocked contacts who cannot reach the subscriber via standard telephone communication.

Whether it is worth adding a person to an emergency situation is up to each client of mobile operators to decide for themselves. No one can block a subscriber's number from the phone book without his knowledge. It is important to be careful when adding contacts to the blacklist, so that later there will be no problems with excluding a person from an emergency situation.
