Blacklist in your OPPO phone

Quite often users receive annoying calls. These may be advertisements or just intrusive callers. Unwanted numbers can be blocked. Today we'll discuss the blacklist on your OPPO phone in detail.

What is a blacklist?

ЧС, или blacklist – это специальный инструмент, позволяющий автоматически заблокировать вызовы от выбранных контактов. Пользователю не нужно вручную отклонять звонок. Программа все сделает самостоятельно. Входящего вызова не будет: вы только получите оповещение, что было заблокировано определенное количество звонков. Таким образом, абонент не сможет до вас дозвониться.

Using the blacklist on Oppo is relevant if you get persistent calls from some numbers offering services. They can easily be blocked. But note that if the scammer calls from another number, the blocking will not work. You will have to manually add each call to the blocked number.

How to blacklist a contact on your OPPO

Let's take a look at how to use the Blacklist on your OPPO. The example uses ColorOS 11.1.

1. Открываем приложение «Телефон» и выбираем номер, который хотим заблокировать. Если абонент добавлен в телефонную книгу, ищем его во вкладке «Контакты». В разделе «Телефон» отображаются все входящие вызовы.
2. Long tap on the desired call. An additional menu appears in which you click "Add to the emergency list". Confirm the action by reading the warning and clicking on the red inscription.
   

With this method, you can add an unlimited number of subscribers to the blacklist on Oppo.

Setting up an ES

Many people wonder how to find the blacklist in the smartphone and whether it can be set up. To get into a separate item with the Blacklist, you need:

1. Go to the system settings menu and go to "Privacy.".
2. Scroll down to the "Defense Against Harassment and Fraud" section.
3. Open tab "Lockdown and Filters.".
   

The item is divided into several blocks, which are configured separately:

• Block calls - enable blocking unknown and hidden numbers or all calls. Also available to filter by region and add unknown calls dropped after the first ring.
• Block messages - specify keywords that will be used to block SMS.
  

In the tab "Blacklist" you can see the blocked calls and messages. If you do not want to receive notifications from the blacklist, check the corresponding box.

Adding a number to the whitelist

We found out where the blacklist is in the Oppo phone. But users can also access the white list. There you add contacts that will not be blocked. This is relevant if you have set the blocking of all calls and allow calls only from specific callers.

So, let's go to "Privacy" - "The White List.". Tap the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen. Next, enter the number yourself or select a contact stored on your phone. We press "Add". Done, the caller is in the whitelist.

How to remove a number from blocked

Разблокировать контакт очень легко. Для этого заходим в блэк лист и зажимаем необходимый номер на несколько секунд. Внизу появится иконка «Удалить». Кликаем по ней. Готово. Аналогичным способом можно убрать контакт из белого листа.

Using special applications

If you're not satisfied with the system tool, resort to third-party apps. There are many working blockers on Google Play.
