How to send calls directly to vm for a specific contact

[Android Central Question]

** Phone = Galaxy S20+, Android version = 11 **

How do I set a specific contact's call to go directly to voicemail?

You try DND (Do Not Disturb)
Choose favorite contacts.

Welcome to Android Central! Open your Contacts app, select a contact, and tap the menu button -- is there an option there to Route to Voicemail?

This does not appear to be an option Android 11.

DND would block everyone so how do you do this for an individual in Andriod 11? Seems to be an option that disappeared.

Welcome to AC!
You don't have the option in DND like I circled in my screenshot?

Looks like that option is gone in Android.

You can block a contact but the "Straight to VM" option is no longer available.

DND will send them to voice mail if you choose only favorite contacts or contacts

Oh ok. I don't use any of that. I use You Mail which blocks everything lol.

Do you mean on Samsung phones on Android 11 only? "Route to Voicemail" is still an option in the Google Contacts app on my Pixel 6 Pro ...

Yeah in my Note 10+ it's not there. I didn't check my Pixel6.

But I don't even use it in either phone.
