Blocking Numbers

[JoeB]

What's the difference between blocking a number and adding it to my personal blacklist? Those are two choices in my call list and it seems they'd do the same thing.
Thanks.

Hi @JoeB,

When you block a number, you add it to the community database. And that number can be blocked for all users of the app. It is better to add spam numbers to the community database.

If you add a number to your personal blacklist, you block it only for yourself. Such number will not be blocked for other users. You can do this with phone numbers that you want to block personally for yourself.

Got it. Thanks for the reply.
