As well as iPhone– that Android phones can prevent individual numbers, but Android users also have ready-made blocking lists. For example, in blocking lists, you can prevent all unknown numbers, ie numbers that do not have name information.
According to Fonecta contact service, Android phone users have prevented nearly 370,000 calls through the company’s automatic blocking during the year.
In addition to the automatic block, the application users have put numbers in the block either during the call or after the call almost 260,000 times. In total, more than 600,000 numbers have been blocked. When the inhibition list is ended, it is likely to remain there. According to Fonecta, the block has been removed only 1,570 times during the year.
– We already knew that two -thirds of Finns would not respond to unknown numbers, but based on our application data, these numbers are also actively blocked, Fonecta’s Business Director Toni Wistbacka says in the bulletin.
According to the data collected by Fonecta, the most popular among Android users is a blocking list that can prevent numbers from the countries they want. The second most popular is to prevent all calls from secret numbers.
