I was exploring Setting features and I came across this (see screen shot). Now I'm curious if there is actually a built-in phone number blocker, or is this something else? I've been known to miss the obvious.
I don't have a number blocking app installed.

It's built into the most current versions of android! you can block numbers by accessing your call log and pull down clicking call details will open amend to block!
- 09-17-17, 06:08 AMSPQR ROMULUSGoogle dialer had its own number blocker you can access it in the phone apps settings, it also has a scam likely caller ID
- 09-17-17, 06:12 AMSmokeaireNice. Thanks for the info. Does this just throw the call into VM like some blocking apps do? I hope not. Right now I don't have any calls in my log to test this out.
- 09-17-17, 06:26 AMSPQR ROMULUSOn blocked numbers I don't know. But scam likely numbers go to vm

I do have a question for you. Does the keyone come with all the blackberry apps ie messenger, phone, etc. As well as the Google/ Android ones?
- 09-17-17, 06:31 AMSmokeaireI guess I could always try it out with my wife's phone number. On second thought.......

One of these things is not like the other.
I assume your screenshot is from the Phone settings.
- 09-17-17, 06:46 AMSPQR ROMULUSYes it's from the same settings menu, I'm on a different device running nougat so I have a few more features but yes it's the same screen

what exactly are you trying to do here?
- 09-17-17, 07:05 AMSmokeaireThat explains the difference in features. Thanks.
- 09-17-17, 07:08 AMSmokeaireJust block callers, advertisers, spammers, and the like. Now that I know it's a built in feature it will save me from downloading another app.
- 09-17-17, 07:11 AMSPQR ROMULUSYeah it's good stuff, only thing is in not sure about your device but I have to manually enter numbers I want blocked, as far as the caller ID it automatically detects and notify you of a suspected spam call
- 09-17-17, 07:23 AMSmokeaireI just tested it (up to actually blocking) with Misty's last call to me in the call log. Long press and the option to block appears. Unfortunately there isn't the spam detector on the KEYᵒⁿᵉ that you have on your phone.
Can't have everything. - 09-17-17, 07:29 AMSPQR ROMULUSI'm almost certain it's part of the Google dialer. I'm running NOUGAT 7.1.2 I think the keyone is 7.1, but don't think that matters
- 09-17-17, 08:24 AMSmokeaireKEYᵒⁿᵉ Nougat 7.1.1. Of course any feature offerings might have to do with whatever TCL decides to bake into the OS. Maybe a phone dialer update will offer the spam detector and blocker feature. It could be carrier dependent as well.
- 09-17-17, 08:25 AMSPQR ROMULUSHmm it's possible, metro PCS here
- 09-17-17, 08:44 AMSmokeaireMy KEYᵒⁿᵉ is factory unlocked on Att. At least the call blocker is available. That's good to know.

on my KEYᵒⁿᵉ it blocks texts as well
