Unknown caller control
Block Unknown Callers Carefully on Android
Unknown callers are not always spam. They can be schools, doctors, delivery drivers, customers, or new contacts. The safer approach is to define who is trusted first, then decide how unknown numbers should behave in normal, work, sleep, or strict blocking modes.
Do not start with the strictest setting
If you block every unknown caller immediately, you may miss a real call. Block Guard lets you start with lighter handling, then move unknown callers to stricter treatment after your trusted list and whitelist are complete.
Use private-number and pattern rules
Some spam callers hide caller ID or reuse similar prefixes. Block Guard can help you target private numbers, area codes, prefixes, and repeat number patterns while allowing contacts and whitelisted numbers through.
Check the log before tightening rules
Blocked-call logs show why a call was handled. Review those reasons before making rules stricter so you can protect real callers and reduce unwanted interruptions at the same time.
