block all numbers not in contacts
one feature that has helped me is blocking all calls not in my contact list. I have a recycled number apparently and get up to 10 spam calls a day from numbers that have almost the exact numerical sequence but change one digit. I've also been receiving spam messages. Hopefully if I keep this feature on, they will give up altogether- we shall see...

i had my phone block unknown calls. and a cat lady i know in person told me that someone has tried to call me and is going straight to voicemail as I'm in the middle of texting her. so she explicitly asked "do you have unknown numbers blocked?". yes maam. pls unblock. the Emotional Support Animal doctor is trying to call you. sure enough, it was her because the call for me. she said my name then the lady's name so I'd know it not a scam. i dont understand. if youre a legit person, why have your caller id say UNKNOWN NUMBER??

I myself love this feature. Those not in my Contacts Listing get cut. So I get NO spam or scammers calling me. Friends I advise to Text Me, since I turn off at night, and volume set to zero to increase battery life. I wish I could do this for Utube ads, but I'm unwilling to pay for Utube Premium, since they censor, delete, or shadow ban all my comments. Adapt and Overcome !

Yes, but what happens if we give a friend our # but have not added it. They would be blocked. I also use the number sequencing to block numbers that change on or two digits. **** will block: ****-55*-123* will block: 870-879 and 550-559 and *** Of course these will be the #'s shown in the caller ID. Which are FAKE provided by number brokers: Onvoy, LLC - xx xx=(state or country abbreviation) Nuso, LLC Peerless Network and others. Google these companies to see what they do.

I agree, I love this feature also. Especially for my 88 year old dad. He gets spam calls all the time and this app has blocked a couple of this scam calls claiming to be family trying to get money. This is a great feature.
