    <title>topic Blocking numbers in Phone APP-WHY so many steps? in Samsung Apps and Services</title>
    <link>https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Blocking-numbers-in-Phone-APP-WHY-so-many-steps/m-p/3162089#M120519</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Unwanted callers are a huge problem and Samsung's Phone App makes blocking numbers more difficult than it sboulx/could.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Why does the Phone App STILL make it so difficult to block a phone number from the "Recents" screen?&amp;nbsp; In particular, WHY does it require SO MANY steps to accomplish Blocking a number?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Essentially, "Blocking a phone number" remains a "hidden feature" in Samsung's Phone App.&amp;nbsp; I don't need to block a call every day, but nothing visible at the "Recents" screen even suggests how to do it.&amp;nbsp; So I usually don't remember "how" and end up having to Google the topic to be reminded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This time, after being reminded of "how to do it" and returning to t&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;he "Recents" screen, I counted at least EIGHT STEPS to get a number blocked &amp;amp; get all the way back to the "Recents" screen.&amp;nbsp; Having to do all that to block a single caller seems totally unnecessary &amp;amp; such a waste of time imposed by the App on the User!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Particularly in today's "malicious caller" environment, once at the "Recents" screen, how to block a number should be no less obvious - and should not require any more steps to "get to" - than the existing "two click process" the Phone App already provides for getting to "Add to Contacts" or "Add tag".&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Is there any legitimate reason for keeping the number blocking process both so obscure and so complicated to accomplish?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
