On smartphones with the Android operating system, it is possible to add contacts (phone numbers) to the blacklist. This allows you to get rid of unwanted calls once and for all. If a contact's number is on your blacklist, then such a contact will not be able to reach you, and you will not even see or hear the call.
This is a very convenient and useful feature. But sometimes contacts are blocked by mistake and then the question arises, how to remove a contact from the blacklist. Fortunately, this is as easy to do as . In this short article we will look at the entire process in as much detail as possible.

In this case, the section is called “Call Blocking,” but the name may be different on your smartphone. For example, this section may be called “Blacklist” or “Call Rejection”

After this, a warning will appear indicating that the selected contact will be removed from the blacklist. Confirm the action and the contact will be unblocked.

Calls are so accessible today that we can talk on the phone all day long. Therefore, our smartphones are bursting with huge numbers of incoming calls every day, and not every call brings joy. There are some conversations you'd like to miss, and some calls you'd like to never hear. Fortunately, smartphones do not give us the opportunity to block a phone number and never hear incoming calls from it. We will tell you how to do this for owners of different smartphones.
Of course, Android smartphones, it is simply impossible to talk about how incoming calls are blocked on each of them. We'll have to choose. The easiest way to do this is for owners of Nexus smartphones and devices running stock Android. They just need to long press on the number in the call list and select the block option. The function is implemented in a similar way in HTC smartphones. However, manufacturers of other smartphones with proprietary shells provide access to this function in different ways.
Samsung
Among our readers there are many users of Samsung smartphones; the South Korean company is the largest smartphone manufacturer. If you have a Samsung device and want to block one of the numbers, follow these instructions:
- Open the Phone application.
- From the call list, select the number you want to block.
- Call up the additional functions menu and select the “Add to blacklist” function.
To remove a number from the blacklist, go to settings. Select the call settings, and in them you will find the “Call Rejection” item, in which the black list is managed.
LG
For owners of smartphones from another South Korean company, the procedure is very similar.
- Open the Phone application.
- Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select “Call Settings” from the pop-up menu.
- In the General section you will find the Call Rejection option. Select the Reject calls from option and add the number to the list.
Of course, among our readers there are not only owners of Nexus, HTC, Samsung and LG smartphones. In many other smartphones, the function is implemented in a similar way, but if suddenly you cannot find it, third-party applications that can block incoming calls will come to your aid, such as
Good afternoon, my dear readers!
Today’s article was written primarily for owners of smartphones from a well-known Korean brand :) And it talks about how to set up a black list of contacts in Samsung. Why did I decide to write about Samsung? Yes, because this function is hidden somehow especially deeply in it :)
For example, we used Samsung GALAXY S4 with Android Lollipop.
From some people I sometimes hear the opinion that this phone feature is unnecessary. That they are always happy to hear from everyone :) But I, for example, am completely tormented by spam in the form of SMS and calls from all sorts of financial organizations offering to invest money somewhere, insure something, etc. And the further we go, the more this information garbage becomes .
So how can you protect yourself from this?
You can do this using third-party applications. For example, this is possible in the paid version. But do you need to install another program on your device if your phone can do it itself?
But let's start already.
You received a call, the interlocutor was sent away by you, and you wanted to never hear his voice again. What are we doing about this?
We go to the call log, select the desired (or rather, no longer needed) number, click on it, and hold it for a while. A menu appears in which we select “Add to blacklist”.
Another situation is that the spammer is timid, does not dare to call and limits himself to sending SMS messages.
The sequence of our actions will be approximately the same. We go to the SMS log, select the same message, press and hold until the menu appears. Select “Add to spam numbers”.
That's sorted out.
Now let’s talk about how to look at our blacklist and remove the number from there (what if? 🙂).
Go to “Settings” - “Calls” - “Call Rejection” - “Black List”. Hidden deep, as I promised :)
Here we see all the numbers that are rejected when trying to call you. If desired (rather strange, in my opinion :) you can remove all or some numbers from there.
