π« Block Number on Google Pixel 9 Pro | Stop Unwanted Calls & Texts π΅
1Blocking a number on your Google Pixel 9 Pro means you will no longer receive phone calls or text messages from that specific number. This is a useful feature for stopping spam calls, telemarketers, or any individual you no longer wish to hear from. When a blocked number tries to call you, they will typically hear a busy signal or be redirected to voicemail, and their text messages will not be delivered to your inbox.
How to Block a Number on Google Pixel 9 Pro:
There are several ways to block a number on your Pixel 9 Pro, depending on whether the number is in your call history, contacts, or if you need to add it manually.
Method 1: From Recent Calls (Phone App)
This is the quickest way to block a number that has recently called you.
Open the Phone app (the green icon with a phone receiver).
Tap on the Recents tab (usually at the bottom of the screen).
Find the number or contact you wish to block in the call history.
Tap on the number or contact entry to view call details.
Tap the three vertical dots (More options) in the top right corner of the screen.
Tap Block / report spam.
(Optional) If you want to report the number as spam, ensure the "Report call as spam" checkbox is selected.
Tap Block to confirm.
Method 2: From Your Contacts App
If the number you want to block is already saved as a contact:
Open the Contacts app (the blue icon with a white silhouette of a person).
Find and tap on the contact you wish to block.
On the contact's details page, tap the three vertical dots (More options) in the top right corner of the screen.
Tap Block numbers.
Tap Block to confirm.
Method 3: Manually Adding a Number to the Blocked List (Phone App Settings)
This method is useful if you want to block a number that hasn't called you recently or is not in your contacts.
Open the Phone app.
Tap the three vertical dots (More options) in the top right corner of the screen.
Tap Settings.
Tap Blocked numbers.
Tap Add a number (or the + Add a number button).
Enter the phone number you wish to block.
Tap Block.
How to Unblock a Number or Manage Your Blocked List:
You can view and manage all your blocked numbers from the Phone app settings:
Open the Phone app.
Tap the three vertical dots (More options) in the top right corner.
Tap Settings.
Tap Blocked numbers.
Here you will see a list of all blocked numbers. To unblock a number, tap the X icon next to the number you wish to unblock, then tap Unblock to confirm.
By using these methods, you can effectively control which numbers can contact you on your Google Pixel 9 Pro.
