However, you can still see the call attempts from blocked numbers (with a blocked icon) in the call log of the Phone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also block unwanted calls from unknown and private numbers on your phone. You can optionally also hide them in the call log as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open the Phone app &gt; switch to &ldquo;Recents&rdquo; tab.<\/li><li>Tap the three dots &gt; select &ldquo;Hide Blocked Calls&rdquo;.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6229ca33c0905.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"760\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6229ca33c0905.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"760\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-does-my-samsung-phone-decline-calls\">Why does my Samsung phone decline calls?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Here are common reasons (and fixes) for your Samsung phone declining calls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You&rsquo;ve added numbers or contacts to the Auto-reject or block list: remove these numbers from the list &ndash; see section &ldquo;How do you remove auto reject calls in Samsung?&rdquo; earlier<\/li><li>The number is blocked by your carrier: contact your carrier<\/li><li>Call barring or call forwarding is turned on: disable them (see &ldquo;How To Fix &ldquo;Incoming Call Busy&rdquo; On Android?&rdquo; below)<\/li><li>Do Not Disturb or Airplane mode is enabled: disable it through the Quick Settings bar<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-reject-calls-on-my-samsung-galaxy\">How do I reject calls on my Samsung Galaxy?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Aside from automatically rejecting calls as described above, you can manually reject a call as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>When the call comes in, the call screen is displayed.

The phone number is in the reject or blocklist<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ve accidentally added the number to the reject or blocklist of your phone. As described earlier, go to the Call settings in your Phone app and remove the number from the blocklist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-the-number-is-blocked-through-a-thirdparty-app\">2. The number is blocked through a third-party app<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You may have installed a third-party call blocking app, e.g.Calls Blacklist or Mr. Number, and added the number in the black list settings of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some third-party antivirus apps (e.g. Kaspersky Antivirus &amp; Security) also have call-blocking capability. The blocked number may be added to the antivirus app&rsquo;s black list. Look for it and remove it from the list.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-the-number-is-blocked-by-the-carrier\">3. The number is blocked by the carrier<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also possible that the number is blocked by the carrier.
