I’ve been hearing a lot about the auto blocker feature on Android devices lately, and I’m curious to know more about it. So, what exactly is this auto blocker? From what I’ve gathered, it seems to be a built-in feature that helps users block unwanted calls and messages. But I’m not entirely clear on how it works and the best way to utilize it.

Key Points About Auto Blocker

  1. Functionality: Does the auto blocker only work for calls, or can it block texts as well? I’d love to hear more about the specifics of its functionality.

  2. Enabling/Disabling: How can I enable or disable this feature on my Android device? Are there different settings depending on the phone manufacturer? If anyone has step-by-step instructions, that would be awesome.

  3. Benefits: It sounds like a great way to avoid spam or telemarketing calls. What benefits have users noticed after using the auto blocker? Is it really effective?

  4. Drawbacks: On the flip side, are there any drawbacks or downsides to using the auto blocker? I’ve heard that sometimes legitimate calls can be blocked by mistake, so I’m keen to know if that’s a common issue.

  5. Managing Settings: Once I have the auto blocker set up, can I manage or customize the block list? Are there options to allow certain contacts or numbers through?

If anyone could share their experiences or tips regarding the auto blocker feature, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your insights!

It’s interesting how Auto Blocker functions differently from the Do Not Disturb mode. While DND silences everything, Auto Blocker can selectively mute annoying notifications.

To set it up, go to Settings > Calls > Call Blocking & Decline with Message. It varies slightly by device model.
