Blocking all calls except from your contacts can be a great way to minimize disturbances from telemarketers and spam calls. Here’s how you can set up your Android and iPhone devices to allow only calls from your contacts.

For Android:

1.Use Do Not Disturb:

– Navigate to ‘Settings’ and tap on ‘Sound’.

– Look for the ‘Do Not Disturb’ option.

– Tap on ‘Calls’ and select ‘Allow Calls’.

– Choose ‘From contacts only’. This setting will only allow calls from numbers that you have saved as contacts.

2.Use Call Blocking Feature:

– Go to the Phone app and tap on the three dots (menu).

– Choose ‘Settings’ > ‘Blocked numbers’.

– Enable the option ‘Block calls from unidentified callers’ to block all calls that are not in your phonebook.

For iPhone:

1.Use Do Not Disturb Mode:

– Open ‘Settings’ and select ‘Do Not Disturb’.

– Turn on the ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode by swiping the button.

– Tap on ‘Allow Calls From’ and select ‘All Contacts’.

2.Silence Unknown Callers:

– With iOS 13 or later, you can enable a feature called ‘Silence Unknown Callers’.

– Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Phone’.

– Scroll down to find ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ and toggle it on.

By following these steps, both Android and iPhone users can effectively restrict incoming calls to their contact list and keep unwanted calls at bay.
