One of the most annoying things about carrying a phone in your pocket is unwanted phone calls. Whether they're spam calls or someone you don't want to talk to anymore, we'll show you how to block them on Android.
Android devices vary a bit, so the methods in this guide may not work for every situation. We'll demonstrate with a Samsung Galaxy phone and a Google Pixel handset. If you don't have one of these, you should be able to follow along loosely and get the job done.
Google Pixel phones come pre-installed with the "Phone by Google" app. This app can be installed on some non-Pixel devices, but not all of the features work.
First, open the Phone app and navigate to the "Recents" tab. From here, select an entry to see more options and tap the "History" button. From there, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right and select "Block." A pop-up will appear. You can choose to also report the number as spam by checking the box before confirming that you'd like to block the phone number by tapping the "Block" button.
CloseThat's all there is to it! Blocked numbers can be found in the Phone app's Settings under "Blocked Numbers." You can unblock them from there.
Whether you have a Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, or other Android device, you can block spam calls. We'll show you how it works with the "Phone by Google" app and Samsung's default Phone app.
We'll be going to the "Caller ID & Spam" section of the settings to block spam calls in the "Phone by Google" app. First, open the app and tap the three-dot menu icon in the search bar. Select "Settings" from the menu and then go to "Caller ID and Spam."
CloseNon-Pixel devices using the Phone by Google app will simply have the option to "Filter Spam Calls."
However, Google Pixel devices have access to a feature called "Call Screen." This can be accessed from the Phone app in Settings > Call Screen. Here, you can choose how to handle spam calls.
Samsung Galaxy phones include a default "Phone" app with an option to block spam calls. First, open the app and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right.
Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
Go to "Caller ID and Spam Protection."
Turn it on at the top of the screen, then toggle on "Block Spam and Scam Calls."
After you toggle on the former, you'll be able to choose from "Block All Spam and Scam Calls" or "Only Block High-Risk Scam Calls."
That's all there is to block spam calls on Android. If your device doesn't have one of these phone apps, you should still be able to find a similar option.

The Xbox Games Showcase is Microsoft's premier annual vehicle for the announcement of new first-party games, and according to Xbox Wire, it'll be streaming live on June 9th, 2024. As such, it often includes many of the year's biggest reveals, and this year is expected to be no different. The Xbox Games Showcase will probably include a lot of surprises, be they first looks at entirely new titles or updates on DLC.
Xbox announced the date of its upcoming June showcase and teased a special deep-dive to reveal a new installment of a “beloved franchise.” This announcement has led to a whirlwind of speculation among players, who are waiting for more information about which game Xbox will unveil during its next showcase.
The next Xbox Games Showcase is scheduled to air this summer and it looks like it could also feature a Call of Duty Direct, too.
For all long as the Fallout franchise has been around, it has never been set outside of the United States. Of course, its over-the-top, retro-futuristic Americana satirization is a core aspect of what makes Fallout, Fallout, but on new few occasions, large chunks of the series’ fanbase have wondered how locations outside of the US are faring in Fallout’s post-apocalyptic setting, and whether they could fare as suitable settings for a future Fallout game.
Todd Howard says Bethesda is working on getting games into players' hands more quickly.
With the Fallout TV series topping 65 million viewers to become one of the most watched Prime Video shows ever, the pressure is on for more content set in the wasteland, and Bethesda is seemingly ready to oblige.
The Fallout show answers the longest-running question in the series: who dropped the bombs first in the Great War? Or at least, it certainly seems to, but one fan thinks that this "reveal" is purposely misdirecting the audience.
Warning: The below story contains FULL SPOILERS for Fallout Season 1, which is now streaming on Prime Video.
Though Fallout creator Tim Cain has not been involved in the series in over 20 years, he still keeps up with the franchise. Case in point, he recently shared his thoughts on the first season of Prime Video's Fallout TV series.
Warning: Fallout season one spoilers ahead!
