What the colored icons mean

You may notice a colored circle next to each blocked number. This reflects what kind of caller it is — orange for suspected spam, red for scam or fraud, blue for a business, and gray for an unknown caller. The color doesn't change the fact that the number is blocked: if it's in your Block List, calls from it are blocked.

Good to know

  • Blocked callers are sent directly to voicemail — they won't know they've been blocked

  • Your personal block list syncs with your account if you're signed in

  • To block entire categories of callers (telemarketers, robocalls, etc.), use automatic spam blocking in Premium
