How to find the blacklist on a Samsung phone: detailed instructions

Considering that in the modern world 95% of humanity uses mobile communications, there will always be an unwanted subscriber from whom you do not want to receive a call. It could also be some kind of organization conducting social surveys or retail chains that push their products through call center operators.

In such situations, you can limit an incoming call in several ways, order a paid option from your operator, set up call forwarding, or use the built-in service in your mobile device. This article will tell you how to find the blacklist in a Samsung phone and all the features when using it.

What is a blacklist and what is it for?

This is a special book in which you can enter your mobile or landline phone number. Depending on the model, the capacity of the “Black List” on the phone ranges from ten to several thousand entries. Unwanted interlocutors can be sorted by name or distributed into folders for ease of use of the function. The entry or deletion of an entry is made manually by the owner of the cellular device.

The main and, perhaps, the only purpose of this option is to limit incoming calls and SMS from a specific person or company.

Through Samsung settings, enter the blacklist, as described above.
A list of previously banned contacts will appear in front of you. Look at it carefully, find the entry you need and check the box next to it.

You can also block a contact on a Samsung phone through third-party software (Call Blocker, Call Blocker, etc.). There is no point in considering how to block a number using them, because they work the same way as the standard Blacklist application.
