How to block a contact on Android

One of the fundamental uses of a smartphone is to make calls to your contacts. No matter what brand, or how advanced the smartphone is, the fundamental task remains the same, and when it comes to making calls or sending messages, what you need, are contacts.

As time passes, we end up saving numerous contacts on our Android device, and while most of them are long-term, personal contacts, there are some contacts that we save for temporary purposes, but forget about them once the job is done. Such contacts can actually be a cause of concern, in the long run, especially those who are don’t exactly have the right intentions.

We hear multiple reports every day, of spam contacts manipulating people into divulging critical and personal information in order to extort money, and these are the contacts that appear perfectly normal in our list but have malicious intent.

The solution is to either delete these contacts outright or block them and then report them to the concerned authorities.
