How to unblock a person

You can view blocked contacts on WhatsApp through any device. The main version synchronizes with the connected computer or tablet and transfers all the necessary data.

Let's figure out how to remove the lock via phone:

1. Login to WhatsApp Spam using the instructions above.
2. Click on the subscriber card.
3. A request will appear, tap on it.

4. An unlock notification will appear on the screen.

To unblock a contact via your computer, go to spam and click on the cross next to the desired number.

Important. To unlock, use one device; you do not need to repeat the action on all connected computers and planets. Settings are updated automatically thanks to synchronization.

Which section is the blacklist in?

Many modern devices have a contact blocking system. The main advantage is that you don’t need to install additional applications and fill up the internal memory to find blocked numbers on your phone. In Meizu and Samsung smartphones the section is called “Black List”, and on Xiaomi it is called “Antispam”. It is located in the “Contacts” and “Settings” sections, depending on the brand and model.

Meizu

To block calls in Meizu, you need to:

1. Open the “Phone” section and go to the “Contacts” column;

1. Select a number and click on it;
2. In the window with detailed information, click on the “Add to black list” button;

1. Save changes.

You can add a person to the block through the standard “Security” section:

1. Open the “Spam Blocking” folder and click “User Blacklist”;

1. Click on the “Add to blacklist” button and mark the numbers.

The program can help clear information about incoming and outgoing calls. To do this, select “Delete all call records” in the “Phone” section.

Samsung

Samsung smartphones have a pre-installed “Black List”. To find it, you need to:

1. Go to the “Phone” section and tap on the icon with three dots located in the upper right corner;

1. Select the “Call Settings” menu item and go to the “Number Blocking” tab;

1. Enable this feature and add numbers one by one or select from contacts.

To activate the changes, click on the “Save” button.

Xiaomi

You can connect the lock in MIUI 8 and MIUI 9 systems. In other versions, you need to use other methods, so you need to see in advance which platform a particular device works with.

To connect, you need to go to the Settings application:

1. Find the “System Applications” section, select the “Phone” section and click the “Antispam Settings” button (in some versions it may be called “Black List”);

1. Enable the function and tap “Blacklist Settings”;

1. To edit, click “Edit” and mark the numbers.

Attention! The system has detailed settings: with its help you can set restrictions on incoming calls and messages from strangers.

How to activate the Black List service

Like most services, “Black List” is activated on the operator’s website.

To use the blocking service, select one of the options:

1. Log in to your personal account on the Tele2 website and activate the service manually.
2. Block a phone number by sending a USSD command - the service will be activated automatically.

Login to your Tele2 personal account

When trying to make a call, the user from the emergency situation will not hear that he is in the block - the system will inform him that the desired subscriber is unavailable. The phone of the Tele2 client himself will not make a sound; there will be no notifications or other signals left in it.

How to add a number to the blacklist

Manage the service using short commands.

According to the tariff plan, the service is activated for free, but each new client can be added to the anti-spam list only for a fee. To call an unwanted number in an emergency, just follow these simple steps:

1. Send a command to *220*1*.
2. Enter the user's phone number, remembering to put the number 8 in front of the number.
3. Press #.

To block SMS from unwanted subscribers and spam mailings, follow other instructions:

1. Write an SMS containing 0*name, where name is the mailing alias (for example, 0*TAXI, 0*Booking.com, 0*GOLDAPPLE, etc.).
2. Send a message to number 220.

It is important to strictly observe the case of letters and avoid unnecessary spaces and punctuation marks.

Attention!

The maximum capacity of the “Black List” is 200 people (or companies). If you need to add a subscriber to a crowded emergency, you should first check its contents and, if possible, remove anyone.

Where to find it, how to bring it in and how to remove it?

Many smartphone brands have their own Black List. With its help, you can filter out messages from unwanted subscribers. Let's look at the blacklist in Samsung brand phones: where you can find it, how to add a subscriber there, and then remove it. You will learn about everything in order in this article.

Why do you need a blacklist in Samsung?

Most of us have encountered situations where we are pestered by acquaintances or strangers with phone calls. The blacklist was created so that we can block unnecessary incoming SMS or calls on our phone. Create a list of numbers that cannot reach us. On Samsung mobile devices, such a list hides short text and multimedia messages in a special blocked folder. The user receives a notification that the spam storage has been replenished.
