In daily life, we often encounter harassment, especially for certain number segments. Luckily for iPhone users, Apple has provided some simple and effective ways to help us block these unwanted calls. This article will introduce in detail how to block specific number segments on iPhone to help you better manage your incoming calls.
First, let's take a look at how to block specific number segments using the "**" feature in Settings. This is a straightforward and effective way that works with most versions of the iOS system.
Turn on your iPhone and go to the Settings app.
Swipe to find and tap on the "** option."
In the menu, select Call Blocking & Identification.
Here you can see the "Blocked Contacts" list, click "Add New" to block new numbers or segments.
Enter the number segment you want to block. For example, if you want to block all numbers that start with "123", you can add "123*" as the block.
In addition to adding it manually, iPhone also offers the ability to automatically identify and block harassment** through third-party apps. These apps often have large databases that automatically identify and block known spam numbers.
From the App Store** a reliable incoming call identification and blocking app.
Install and open the app and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
In Settings, make sure Call Identification and Blocking are enabled.
These apps automatically update their database of harassment** to help you identify and block unwanted calls.
If you're regularly receiving harassment from a particular number segment**, these two methods can help you reduce distractions. However, it's worth noting that these methods may not be 100% able to stop all harassment**, as the number of harassment** changes frequently. Therefore, it is recommended to update your block list and app database regularly to maintain the best results.
What's more, Do Not Disturb Mode for iPhone can also help you manage incoming calls to a certain extent. You can set Do Not Disturb to be automatically enabled at specific times to only allow contacts from your Favorites or from consecutive calls to disturb you.
iPhone users have a variety of ways to block specific number segments. Whether it's through the feature in Settings or using a third-party app, you can effectively reduce the problem of harassment. Remember to update your blocking settings and app database regularly to ensure the best results.
