What happens when you block a number on Android?

First off, when a blocked number tries to send you a text message, it won’t go through, and they will likely never see the “delivered” note. On your end, you’ll see nothing at all. As far as phone calls are concerned, a blocked call goes directly to voice mail.

How do you block a number on Android without them knowing?

Select Calls > Call Blocking & Identification > Block Contact. You can then block calls from anyone on your contact list. If the number you wish to block is not a known contact, there’s another option available. Simply open the Phone app and tap Recents.
