Block a hidden number on iPhone and Android?

How to block hidden calls on an Android smartphone

If you have a smartphone running the Android operating system, you have the possibility of programming a systematic blocking of hidden calls or unknown calls. To do this, just do the following:

The procedure described here may vary slightly, particularly in terms of menu titles, depending on the brand of your smartphone and the software overlay associated with the Android system of your device. However, the mechanism remains essentially the same.

Finally, if your Android smartphone does not offer this function, you can block hidden calls by downloading a specialized application, or Calls Blacklist, from Playstore.

Block hidden numbers on iPhone

For iPhone users, unfortunately there is no feature to automatically block or reject hidden calls. However, there is an alternative through which you can preserve your peace of mind. This is the "Do not disturb" function that is available on iPhones. Once activated, your smartphone will no longer signal incoming calls or messages once locked. However, you can configure it by authorizing calls from all the contacts saved in your directory or even from only some of them.

By doing this, you won't have to put up with calls from hidden numbers. Note, however, that activating this feature will also lead to a filtering of all numbers that are not among your contacts.

Of course, whether with an Android smartphone or an iPhone, you always have the option of deactivating the blocking in place whenever you wish. All you have to do is reverse the procedure each time, then do a quick test to make sure you don't miss calls from your loved ones.
