The functionality that allows users to block unwanted contacts on a mobile device prevents specific phone numbers from reaching the user. When a number is added to this list, calls and messages from that number are automatically filtered and blocked. For example, a user continually receiving spam calls can add the originating number to this specified list to cease further communication.
This feature offers users greater control over their communication channels and protects them from harassment, unwanted solicitations, and potentially malicious activity. Historically, managing unwanted contacts was a manual process, but this integrated functionality provides a more efficient and automated solution.
