Hello dear friends! Today we will learn how to block other users on the VK network so that they can no longer write to you. It's about the black list.
The black list is a concept that is used not only in the social network Vkontakte. It usually adds a person who is unpleasant to you or a person from whom you no longer want to receive any messages.
What gives this ban list. If you add a person there, then he will no longer be able to write to you, leave comments and disturb you in any way. If you add a friend there, then he is immediately removed from the Vkontakte friends list.
How to view the blacklist
A fairly large number of users do not know at all where the list of unwanted Vkontakte friends is located and how to get to it. Now I will try to solve this problem together with you.
Click on the top menu and select "Settings" from the drop-down list:
At the next stage, in the right menu, select the "Black List" item:
As you can see, nothing complicated, we figured out one problem. We got to the coveted ban list and we can observe the people who are listed on it
How to add a friend to blocked
We find our cherished list of unwanted people. We already know how to do this, at the very top there is a button "Add to the black list", click on it.
We go to the friend's page and copy its address at the top in the browser line:
Paste the copied address into the add box. We immediately had to load a miniature of a person. Click on the "Block" button next to it:
How to block a person who is not in friends
You can do this in exactly the same way as a friend, but we have another way. We go to the page of the one we want to block. Immediately below the avatar, we have a small menu in the form of three horizontal dots. Click on it and select "Block" from the drop-down menu:
That's all, after clicking on this button, he will immediately be blacklisted.
How to remove from the blacklist.
We find our list, for this we read the first paragraph of the article. In the list we find the one we want to remove and opposite its thumbnail, click "Remove from the list".
Blocking Vkontakte users from the phone
Now, dear friends, let's quickly go over all those operations that we have only studied on the mobile application for phones and tablets.
We launch the application, find the gear icon at the bottom, click on it and in the settings select "Black sp ...":
This is what we found. Now, in order to add any person there, no matter if he is a friend or not, you need to go to his page and click on the menu in the upper right corner in the form of three vertical dots:
From the drop-down menu, select the "Block" item:
We are asked again if we really want to block this person. We agree.
Everything, thus, the person falls into the black list.
As you can see, dear friends, there is nothing complicated, in the article I tried to outline all the main points for working with blocking without water.
Why on Android sometimes you may need to add a number to the black list? Scenarios can be different - from a joke to a bloody persecution.
If your phone number falls into the wrong hands, you can get in a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, thanks to special programs and android tools, such situations can be prevented.
Although each of them behaves differently, they are all aimed at creating a blacklist of calls and both options are available for free.
The blacklist on android will help you get rid of burdensome individuals who are constantly trying to contact you.
NOTE: As for adding numbers to emergency with android tools, I will be based on android versions 5.0 - 6.0.1 and a samsung phone, so there may be some differences on others.
How to add a number to the blacklist using android tools
To add a number to the Android phone blacklist, click on the phone icon and select "Options" in the top right.
Now let's go to the settings.
In the open new tab, click on the block list line.
Now either add the number manually, or add it from the available contacts, click on the plus sign and confirm "OK".
It's all. The selected or dialed number is blacklisted so that it will not call you again. To remove a contact, there is a minus sign opposite it - click and that's it.
How to blacklist a number on android using programs
If the first option did not fit to bring the contact into an emergency (it did not work out or did not find the tools described above), then use the other one, the one below.
There are many applications for android that add numbers to the black list, I liked it under the name Black List.
The program is quite easy to set up. There are 8 options available in the main menu, but only six will be available to you in the free version:
- A black list is a set of rules that determine how calls from specified phone numbers will be treated.
- Text Filter - allows you to set filters for SMS messages in such a way as to exclude unwanted ones.
- Copy options - allows you to make a copy of the data.
- Restore - you can restore the copied data.
- Settings - allows you to configure the program to run completely in the background.
- Widget - allows you to customize the widget.
For each blocked number, there is a log with information about blocked calls. With it, you can see how many times and when they tried to contact you.
By default, the application reports a successful call rejection attempt, so the information is provided in real time.
After turning off the information about the number of successful blocking attempts, you will always have a log with information.
What networks does the Black List program work on?
In all - it does not matter fixed or mobile network. When adding a number to the black list, you can be sure that the phone will be silent on this number.
Despite some shortcomings and some inconveniences of the program, it is ideally suited for its role.
In my case, after blacklisting unwanted numbers in the Black List program, I permanently got rid of them.
How to use the black list on the phone correctly - the answer to this question is becoming increasingly important. The development and availability of mobile communications today has already captivated the world. Just a few years ago, netizens agreed to call each other - because it was expensive, and the sight of a person talking on a mobile phone was considered cool.
What is it
The function with which you can protect yourself from unwanted calls is called the black list. At the same time, the incoming subscriber will not be notified about this in any way, moreover, he will never know about the fate that has befallen him. The answer will be: the subscriber is temporarily unavailable, busy, etc.
A very convenient feature, given the current "information clutter". Telephone spam has become a harsh reality. Databases of telephone numbers are sold and managers call all day long, trying to sell something, lure somewhere, open a loan - you never know what. Yes, and in his personal life, he brought a boring person into the blocking - and forgot about him forever.
Most mobile devices have this feature by default, but there are smartphones where you will have to resort to the help of third-party utilities to blacklist the phone to carry out this operation.
