Block / Unblock Numbers

Blocking certain numbers on your Pixel 4a stops unwanted calls and messages. If you can't receive calls or messages from specific numbers, verify they're not blocked.

Before you begin

Calls and messages from contacts or phone numbers added to the block list are automatically ignored. The call is forwarded to Voicemail and text / picture messages aren't delivered to the Messages app.
If calls from a specific number go directly to Voicemail but you're still able to receive text messages, ensure the contact isn't set to automatically route to Voicemail by navigating:
Contacts
, select the contact, tap the
3-dot Menu
then select
Unroute to voicemail
.

Steps

  1. Open the
    Phone app
    .
  2. Tap the
    3-dot Menu
    then select
    Settings
    .
  3. Tap
