A very common option is to want to block calls from unwanted numbers . Although formerly this option had to be linked yes or yes with the help of a third-party app, little by little it has become a native function of many terminals. An example is in Motorola mobiles, which can easily block calls or messages from a specific number in a simple way.
There are many reasons why we may need to block a number. Each person has their own, but the good news is that Motorola mobiles allow you to do it easily. In this way, whenever the call comes in from a specific mobile number , our mobile will reject it automatically. In addition, Google can provide information about numbers that are not registered in our contacts and alert about potentially unwanted numbers.
Avoid unwanted contacts
Block a number
In order to do this we will have to go to the calling application or phone dialer and tap on the call history. Then we touch on a call, received or made to the number we want to block. Now we tap on “Block / Mark as Spam” and tap on “Block”. From this moment all the calls of this number will be blocked avoiding any inconvenience.
So that the mobile does not notify us of the arrival of this unwanted call, we will have to uncheck the check box. To unlock the number, we will have to tap on Settings / Blocked numbers and tap on the number, then click on “Unlock”. Calls will now re-enter as usual as this action is fully reversible.
Block messages from a number
In the same way, we can prevent text messages from reaching a certain number. For this we go to the Messages application and hold the conversation of the number that we want to block. Then we tap on “Block”. Similarly, to unblock this contact we will have to enter the application and tap on the three points that will give us access to the options. Then we touch on the specific number and select ” Unlock ”
Automatically lock them
Another interesting option is to block contacts automatically. Thanks to Google, Android can provide information about numbers that are not registered in your contacts, it can also alert you to potentially unwanted numbers. To activate this function, tap on the calling application and click on the three points that give access to the options menu. Then we select “Settings / Caller ID and Spam” and move the switch to “on”.
