Using recent call log:

If there’s a number you don’t want to answer again, it’s easy to block that number directly from your recent call log list. To do so, open the “Recents” menu on the “Samsung Phone app”. Tap on the number you wish to block and then tap the “Information” icon next to it.

If the number is saved on your phone, click on the three-dot menu followed by the “Block contacts” option. Finally, hit the “Block” button and it’s done. Meanwhile, for the unsaved contacts, you will see a direct “Block button” in the bottom menu, just tap on it.

Using Phone app:

If you want to block a new number, you can do so through the Phone app. Simply open the application and tap on the More option. Visit Settings and the first function you will see is “Block numbers”. Tap on it and add the number you want to block calls or messages.

Once you block a phone number, you will not receive any calls or text messages from that number on your phone. However, at some point, if you desire to receive calls from that number, you can unblock them.
