Block a call

[Mike-Mike]

I think this is new with Nougat. At least I never noticed it on Marshmallow if it was there.

I would always use Samsung's built in call blocking feature, but I didn't find that when I first switched to the Moto Z Force Droid.

After getting Nougat and then getting a nuisance call I looked again and saw it was there.

You have to go to recent calls, then Call Details and scroll to the bottom

Great find! I've missed the Samsung feature. I had set up a "Blocked Call" contact but this should be much better.

Nice! I usually do this through the Reverse Lookup app, but it seems to just add a bunch of *zzblockedblahblahblah* contacts to my contact list, and then doesn't always actually block them. I might have to switch to the built in solution for blocking, and just use Reverse Lookup for lookups.

Thanks for posting this - long overdue feature for native Android (assuming it is). I've long used a "Blocked Caller" contact sending to Voicemail but this certainly beats the bandaid approach.
