However, not everyone knows how to block a number responsible for unwanted calls. The guide we’ve prepared will help you solve this problem. Learn how to protect yourself from unwanted calls and safeguard your privacy. Enjoy today’s article!
Check what you can do
The first step is to verify whether your device has an option to block phone numbers or add them to a so-called blacklist. You can check this by going to the Phone app settings or by locating the unwanted number and holding your finger on it for a moment. If a list of options appears and you see the option to block the contact, select it. Xiaomi, POCO and Redmi smartphones running MIUI make this task very simple. Just open the MIUI Dialer app, go to settings, choose the BlockList option and add a new (or the first) number to the blocked contacts list. After this sequence of actions, the annoying calls will stop, and people or companies will no longer disturb your peace.
In summary
On Xiaomi devices you can easily block unwanted numbers. Open the app you use for calling. Tap the 3 dots in the upper-right corner of the screen. Go to: call rejection and choose the option “reject calls from”. Select the appropriate numbers and add them to the list. That’s it! You can now enjoy peace and quiet, and if the situation happens again, you’ll know exactly what to do.
