    Yes open dialler screen.

    Top right - three dots settings / block numbers / block unknown numbers (private calls and such)

    Strange - I don't have that option on mine. I can only block specific numbers. Would this be down to the ROM?

    If your phone doesn't support it natively, the Mr. Number app allows you to block private numbers as well as numbers marked as spam or from particular country/area codes.

    If you block one unknown number would that not block them all?
