Let's consider how to remove a person from the blacklist on your phone, social network, or popular program.
Black list(also "blacklist" or abbreviated to emergency) is a function built into most phones and programs that allows you to limit the circle of contacts.
Thus, the user will be able to protect himself from unwanted calls or incoming messages.
You can block contacts both in a regular phone and in a social network, game or desktop program.
Also, there are special programs for managing blacklists on. The owner of the gadget can remove a contact from the emergency at any time.
Blacklist functions:
- Blocking incoming messages and sending multimedia files;
- Restricting the viewing of your account (this function is used by social networks);
- Blocking incoming calls.
The above functions can be used by the phone and the social network either separately or in combination.
How does the blacklist work?
The principle of operation of the blacklist is similar on all devices. Basically, it is a built-in filter whose purpose is to block contacts.
By adding someone to an emergency, you save the data of another user to a hidden contact book, which is stored on the site server or in the internal memory of the phone.
When a user added to an emergency tries to call or send a message, his signal will not be sent to you directly. It is simply blocked by the device.
Smartphone with Android OS
Emergency situations on Android allows you to block any contact from the phone book or a new incoming number.
You cannot add to the blacklist only those subscribers whose number is recognized as "Unknown".
Often users add numbers to the blacklist by mistake, because for this action it is enough to press one key in the menu.
If you are faced with a problem in which another user cannot get through to you even in the mode of stable operation of the cellular network, check his contact - most likely, he is just in an emergency.
Features of blacklist work in Android:
- The user can view all incoming messages from blocked numbers at any time ... They come to the phone, but are saved in the "Spam" folder or "Blocked SMS"(the folder name depends on the OS firmware version). At the same time, unwanted SMS are not displayed in the main window of the "Messages" application;
- Text and calls from blocked numbers arrive without a notification signal ... You can see the list of missed calls in the directory "Blacklist calls".
