Block Phone Number / Contact On Galaxy S25
There are a number of ways you can use to block phone numbers and contacts. You can do so via the Contacts app or the Phone app.
via Contacts App
Begin by locating and opening the Contacts app on your device. This app is typically represented by an icon with a silhouette of a person and can be found on your home screen or in the app drawer.
Once inside the Contacts app, scroll or search for the contact you wish to block. You can browse through your entire contact list or use the search bar at the top of the screen for quicker access. Tap on the contact’s name and select the i icon to open their details.
Once you’ve opened the contact’s details, look for the More option in the bottom menu. In the menu that appears, look for an option labeled Block Contact. Tap on this option to initiate the blocking process.
A confirmation pop-up message will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to block the contact. Confirm your decision by tapping Block. A block icon will appear next to the contact, just below the name and you will no longer receive calls or messages from that contact.
via Recents Tab On phone App
You can also block a contact from the Recents tab. Begin by opening the Phone app on your Samsung Galaxy S25. Make sure you’re in the Recents tab.
Locate and tap on the phone number or contact you want to block. From the resulting menu, tap on last icon (Details) to open the contact details. Under the contact details, you should see various options. Tap on Block.
Then, from the prompt, confirm you want to block the contact by selecting Block.

Select the Block Numbers option to see options to manage blocked contacts.
Enter the number you wish to block. Select Recents, Messages or Contacts to find the number you want to block, if you don’t have it at that point.
