Stop robocalls on Android

Android fit block a few obvious calls, but real robocall reduction usually takes a stack of protections wey work together. Block Guard now covers both di blocking decision and di review tools you need after di call na stopped.

Turn on di protections wey stop robocalls fastest

• Known spam blocking stops numbers found in Block Guard's local community spam database.
• Neighbor spoofing protection catches fake local numbers wey copy your area code and prefix.
• Anti-spoofing using STIR/SHAKEN helps catch calls wey fail carrier verification.
• Unknown, private, and foreign caller filters let you tighten di net when robocalls na coming from broad categories instead of one number.
• Call storm and rotating-prefix campaign protection handles di burst behavior common in robocall waves.

Use lists and exceptions together

• Block exact numbers, whole prefixes with wildcards, regex patterns, area codes, or country codes.
• Keep real people reachable with your whitelist, favorite contacts, always-allow contacts, and always-allow favorites.
• Use di repeat-caller exception, allow-if-called-recently, and allow-if-texted-recently when you want to stay aggressive without blocking normal follow-up calls.
• If Block Guard dey block a legitimate robocall-like number once, you fit open di detail view and use Allow once or whitelist it permanently.

Automation matters more than manual blocking

Block Guard Mode, blocking profiles, and scheduled profiles na a big part of di app now. Instead of turning rules on and off by hand, you fit create a Sleep, Work, or Focus profile and let it activate automatically.

• Profiles fit carry strict mode, unknown/private/foreign rules, text blocking, and your main blocklist or whitelist.
• Schedules support weekdays, weekends, every day, and cross-midnight windows.
• DND override contacts fit still get through when you want quiet without full isolation.

Check what was stopped and tune di next wave

• Blocked Call Log shows di reason, action, and follow-up actions for each blocked call.
• Protection Center gives you recommendations when key robocall protections na still off.
• Analytics shows trends, top reasons, and di numbers or patterns wey keep appearing.
• Weekly Report gives a seven-day summary so you fit confirm di app na still catching di junk you care about.

If di robocalls look local, di most important related guide is neighbor spoofing protection. If you want a profile-based setup, go next to blocking profiles and schedules.
