🔒 Real Talk: Still Getting Calls? Do This!
So you blocked someone, but they still find a way to bug you? Spam calls, unknown numbers, shady DPs calling you on WhatsApp — yeah, it’s a pain. Here’s how you level up.
💣 Block = Peace. But You Need More…
Blocking ek banda ya number rokta hai, but agar roz naye unknown log call kar rahe hain, toh simple block enough nahi hota. Let’s break it down:
🔇 Silence Unknown Callers (Android/iPhone)
- On iPhone: Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers → Turn it ON. Unknown numbers won’t ring your phone anymore. Simple.
- On Android: Go to Phone App > Settings > Blocked numbers > Block unknown callers.
Yeh feature un sab logon ko auto-mute kar dega jo tumhare contacts mein nahi hain. Life saver!
🔥 WhatsApp Privacy Settings – Go Full Ghost Mode
Agar WhatsApp pe unwanted log disturb kar rahe hain, toh yeh settings must-use hain:
- Go to Settings > Privacy
- Change:
- Last Seen & Online → “Nobody”
- Profile Photo → “My Contacts” or “Nobody”
- About → “My Contacts”
- Status → Only share with trusted people
Now even if someone tries stalking or calling — they get NOTHING.
🔨 Use Third-Party Call Blocker Apps
If you want full control — like blocking a whole country code, or automatically detecting spam — download these:
- Truecaller (Android & iOS)
→ Blocks spam calls, shows caller identity, and lets you auto-block telemarketers. - Hiya
→ Great for blocking robocalls and known fraud numbers.
🤫 Want To Block Without Blocking?
Don’t want to make it obvious you blocked someone? Here’s a trick:
- Mute them forever on WhatsApp:
Open chat > Tap name > Mute > “Always”
Now you’ll never hear from them, but they won’t know they’re muted. - Turn off notifications:
Settings > Notifications > Set message/call alerts to silent.
They’ll message, they’ll call — but you won’t care.
📲 Don’t Forget DND Mode!
Need total silence?
- Swipe down > Turn on Do Not Disturb
You can customize it to allow calls from only contacts or favorites.
Late-night peace, meetings, or when you’re just done with the world — DND mode is your best friend.

🧠 Remember:
Your phone = your space.
