Samsung may still be trying to make up for its Note 7 disaster, but it has one major advantage: its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S8, which enjoys the spotlight. If you believe that it has indeed a chance, then that means that the handset sits in your hand now and you have no regret. I know that feeling and trust me that I share it with you.

So, here I am with a fresh guide on how to Block or Unblock Calls on Samsung Galaxy S8. If you need to block a number from calling your Galaxy S8, then there’s a way to add that number to a “block list” and forget all about calls from spam numbers and unknown numbers.

Here’s what you have to do:
