Blocking profiles and schedules on Android

Profiles are now one of the most important parts of Block Guard. They let you save a complete blocking setup for sleep, work, travel, or focus time and turn it on manually or automatically on a schedule.

If your protection needs change by time of day, profiles are better than repeatedly editing your main blocking rules. A profile is a saved strategy that Block Guard can activate when you need it.

What a profile can control

  • Strict Mode for contacts-only calling.
  • Private, unknown, and foreign caller blocking.
  • Silence behavior for allowed-but-quiet calls.
  • Use of your main blocklist and main whitelist.
  • Text blocking when you want calls and texts handled together.

Schedules are built into profiles now

  • Turn a profile on automatically by day and time.
  • Use weekday, weekend, every-day, and custom day selections.
  • Support schedules that cross midnight, such as 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
  • See which profile is active from the app dashboard and DND status text.

After you create a profile, check Blocked Call Log, Protection Center, and Weekly Report to confirm the scheduled profile is doing what you expect.

Localized blocking profile examples

  • Use a work-hours profile from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on weekdays to block private and unknown callers while coworkers, clients, and saved contacts still get through.
  • Set a family-only overnight profile from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM with Strict Mode so only contacts ring and random late-night calls go straight to voicemail.
  • Create a school or study focus profile that silences non-contacts during class hours but keeps favorites and recent family callers available for real schedule changes.

Common questions

Can a profile run only on weekdays?

Yes. Profiles support schedule days, so you can use one setup for workdays and a different one for weekends or evenings.

What happens if my schedule starts at night and ends the next morning?

Profiles can span midnight. A schedule such as 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM will stay active across the overnight window.

Should I use Strict Mode or just block unknown numbers?

Use Strict Mode when you want contacts-only calling. If that feels too aggressive, start with unknown, private, or spam-focused blocking instead.
