How to Block Spam Calls on Samsung Galaxy A56

Are unwanted calls ruining your day? You’re not alone! Spam, scams, and robocalls have become a significant nuisance, but if you own the Samsung Galaxy A56, you have powerful tools at your disposal to permanently block these intruders. In this friendly, step-by-step guide, you’ll discover all the best ways to block spam calls on your Samsung Galaxy A56.

Why Blocking Spam Calls Matters

Spam calls aren’t just annoying—they can be disruptive and even dangerous, exposing you to scams and phishing attempts.

Blocking these calls not only keeps your Galaxy A56 quieter but also protects your privacy and security.

Thankfully, Samsung has packed the A56 with top-tier anti-spam features, putting you in control.

Step-by-Step: How to Block Spam Calls on Galaxy A56

To block spam calls on your Samsung Galaxy A56, follow these step-by-step instructions using the built-in Samsung Phone app features:

1. Enable Caller ID and Spam Protection

Samsung’s “Caller ID and Spam Protection” (powered by Smart Call and Hiya) is your first line of defense. Here’s how to turn it on:

Open the Phone App: Tap the green phone icon.
Access More Options: Tap the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.
Go to Settings: Tap on “Settings.”

Find Caller ID and Spam Protection: Locate “Caller ID and spam protection.”
Activate the Feature: Use the toggle to turn it “On.” Accept any permissions or agreements if prompted.

Now, your phone will automatically identify calls that are suspicious or believed to be spam.

2. Block Spam and Scam Calls Automatically

Once spam protection is on, you can choose how aggressively you want your A56 to handle those calls:

Only Block High-Risk Scam Calls: Blocks only the most dangerous scam attempts.
Block All Spam and Scam Calls: For maximum peace, this option blocks every identified spam/scam call automatically.
You can adjust this in the same “Caller ID and spam protection” section by tapping the “Block spam and scam calls” option and selecting your preferred level.

3. Blocking Specific Phone numbers.

Are you dealing with a persistent caller? You can block individual numbers in a snap:

Open the Phone app, and head to “Recents” or your “Contacts.”
Tap the number or contact you wish to block.
Open Options: Tap the three-dot menu.
Select ‘Block‘: Confirm your choice.

Blocked numbers will no longer bother you with calls or texts.

4. Block Calls from Unknown Numbers

If spam calls from numbers not in your contacts are a major issue, you can block all unknown callers:

Go to Phone App > Settings.
Tap on “Block numbers.”
Enable “Block calls from unknown numbers.” One tap, and any unrecognized numbers are silenced.

5. Report and Manage Spam with Smart Calls.

Take your protection a step further by reporting numbers:

When you get a spam call, you’ll see options to “Block/Report number.” Use “Block number” to reject future calls, or “Report number” to help others by flagging it as spam, scam, or another category.

6. Advanced Tip: Use Google’s Phone App

If you’d like an extra layer of spam detection, consider Google’s Phone app from the Play Store. It provides its own spam filter and can work alongside Samsung’s tools for enhanced security.
