How to Block Calls from Unknown Numbers on Samsung Galaxy S25/S25+/Ultra
In this guide, you’ll learn how to effectively block calls from unknown numbers on your Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. This tutorial will walk you through using the Android settings and the advanced call-blocking features powered by Galaxy AI and Mobile AI, allowing you to enjoy a more secure calling experience.
Step 1: Open the Phone App
Start by locating and opening the Phone app on your Samsung Galaxy device. This is where you will initiate the call blocking process.
Step 2: Access Call Settings
Once in the Phone app, look for the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner. Tap on it and select Settings from the dropdown menu to access your call settings.
Step 3: Navigate to Call Blocking Options
In the Settings menu, find and tap on Block Numbers or Call Blocking. This is where you can manage which numbers are blocked from contacting you.
Step 4: Enable Call Blocking for Unknown Numbers
Look for an option such as Block Unknown Callers or Block Calls from Unknown Numbers. Toggle this option on (you may need to check a checkbox or slide a switch) to ensure that calls from unknown numbers are blocked.
Step 5: Add Specific Numbers to Block (Optional)
If you want to block specific numbers in addition to unknown callers, tap on Add Number or Add. Enter the desired phone number and confirm by tapping Block.
Step 6: Customize Additional Settings (If Needed)
Some devices may offer additional call filtering options, such as blocking calls from private or hidden numbers. Review these options and customize them according to your preference.
Step 7: Test Your Settings
To ensure that your settings work, try calling your device from an unknown number (you can use a secondary phone or app to do this). Make sure that the call is blocked as expected.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
Make sure your software is updated to the latest version to ensure you have the newest security features. If you continue to receive calls from unknown numbers, revisit the settings to confirm they are properly configured. Also, ensure that your device is connected to a reliable internet connection for optimal performance of Galaxy AI features.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can effectively block unwanted calls and implement a more secure calling experience on your Samsung Galaxy S25 series device. This enhances your overall privacy and reduces interruptions from spam calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the above steps don’t work?
If you find that the blocking is ineffective, consider resetting your call settings and repeating the steps. Alternatively, check if any third-party apps could be interfering with call management.
Can I unblock a number later if I change my mind?
Yes, you can unblock numbers at any time through the same settings menu where you blocked them. Just find the blocked number list and select the number you wish to unblock.
Are unknown and spam calls the same?
Unknown calls are calls from numbers not saved in your contacts. Spam calls are unsolicited marketing calls. The settings typically block both to enhance your calling experience.
