• After the latest Callfilter.app update, some users may have noticed that Always allow contacts or Block all except contacts was turned off. This was a developer mistake. We’re sorry for the trouble — we did not intend to disrupt anyone’s settings.

    If this happened to you, please re-enable the options in Filter priority.
    Note: Ignore contacts is now called Always allow contacts.

Blocking Numbers

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.
