I've been using an app called Extreme call blocker. I prefer the hang-up no voicemail feature for numbers I've selected.
However lasts month Samsung's OS system update disabled the "hang-up" feature of the app, now sends all calls in block list to voicemail.
If I wanted to send calls to voicemail I would just use Samsung's stock blocker.
Anyone else experienced this with an S6 and have a workaround?
I just want to hangup on calls in my block list.
Thanks

Have you checked the app's permissions (to handle calls, maybe)? Perhaps they got reset with the update or turning them on/off again might help?

That's a excellent suggestion I hadn't thought of, thank you. But yes the apps permission is still set to handle calls.
Here is a statement from the help desk of the app owner quote:

"The bad news is we might not be able to fix it on Samsung phones, the new system they put in disabled the function we need"
Surely I'm not the only one that lost call hang up with latest update.
