How can I block call notifications from WhatsApp in Secure Folder??
I've tried to block all messages in the Secure Folder settings and I have turned off app permissions, but the WhatsApp call pop up still appear on the screen. Even when my screen is locked... I also tried to deny data access in the background and I also denied battery usage in the background. How do I block it? I don't even have to type in my Secure Folder password to accept the call and have a conversation...
I have moved the question to the Galaxy S9 forum.

I want to always block incoming calls from any number not my contact list, and I also want to block notifications only from midnight-8am. Is there anyway I can achieve this setup (no root).?
PS> Why the heck doesn't blocking mode kill whatsapp notifications?
Is there an app would make my blocked / Reject phone number go away and not show up on my "always on" - "locked screen" - "Home screen pull-down" screens as a missed call. What is the point of blocking/rejecting a call if they keep showing up on my phone??? The only thing I want showing up on my "always on" & "locked" screens is text messages. I'm really hoping I don't have to root to do this. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Well, I know macrodroid app won't work. Just got this from them:
I assume you are talking about a notification. You can use the clear notification action if you want to clear it, but MacroDroid cannot stop your system or other apps from creating notifications.
Not sure what you mean, when I actively reject a call, there isn't any notification, for me it's gone for good and if I want to review it I have to take a look at the call list.
What settings did you use to do that then? On my S7 Edge, once I put a number on rejected list, if they call back again, the little icon still shows up on my "always on", "locked" & "Home pulldown" screens.
I figured this xda forum would have a solution? Guess not...
Have you tried True Caller? Free 3rd party app for blocking unwanted calls, you can blacklist number, you can also block all blocked number, and they maintain a list of spam callers you can automatically block. You can choose to have notifications or no notifications.
I will give it a try!
I emailed truecaller with some questions. Not so sure after seeing one of the reviews:
Please revert back to previous version Double notification for missed call it pathetic for me. I don't want truecaller to handle my call the way it is now. Please revert back to previous version. It was definitely a 5 star application. I don't like truecaller to give me missed call notification. All the android phone by default gives it. Duplicate notification is not at all desirable.
I use Blacklist, does what I need it to do. I don't even notice when the NRA calls me 10 times a day for donations anymore.
You don't get any missed calls notifications on your "always on" , "locked" , "home pulldown" screens?
Hi there
I'm receiving spam SMS from such with no phone number, thus it seems impossible to block those morons. It's so annoying that Samsung has no option to block spammers without a number!
I had used Hangouts before and I was able to somewhat block such but now Hangouts is stopping being an SMS app so I switched to Samsung Messages app.
Any way to somehow block those spammers?
Tru Calling App maybe?

Caller ID apps have nothing to do with SMS and they wouldn't be able to recognize spammers without numbers.
Somehow these spammers send SMS via different way that allow them to send SMS without showing their numbers or having no numbers at all.
It's freaking annoying that Samsung doesn't include an option to stop these.
Same problem here. I used chomp sms and i had that option. Now i´m trying to use the default app and thats impossible to do. It´s really annoying.

Try Calling does SMS also.
Hi there ! I have also the same problem here in Turkey . I just called the customer technical service of Samsung ( for my S8 ) . They informed that the only way to block these SMS is : go to block messages > there are 3 options , select the second one ( block icons/symbols ) > for example I'm receiving sms from 'marsbet' , so I wrote marsbet and clicked on the '+' icon . Now I will wait if it works or not . Please also try the same and keep us posted if it works or not . Thank you guys..
Just to explain more clearly :
Tap Messages.
Tap the 3 dots icon.
Tap Settings.
Tap Block messages
Tap on the second option ( Block symbols or block icons , or something like that ) , write the name or word of the message and tap on the '+'
That's all...
yes that will work but if the spam caller is called John and you add that name to your block list I believe that will block all messages from any john even if they are in your contact list
I have similar but opposite problem.
I receive emergency response messages via text with caller ID being a name not number.
I cannot add this as a contact or change the notification tone for them meaning I don't know if it's a fire call or just a normal message
Hey Guys, Listen, there are some apps out there, which give notifications to show that they are active, for example: All In One Gesture, Jio4GVoice etc. I don't want to see these sticky notifications, and for that I can bock notification from setting. But if I block from setting, it will block all notification from that app, let's take Jio4GVoice, it says "Jio4GVoice Online" in the notification and this stays there all the time, and if I block notification for the app Jio4GVoice, then I don't get other notifications from the app too, so I want to block the exact persistent notification "Jio4GVoice Online", so Please help...
I have tried "MacroDroid" But didn't get success.
Those who don't know about Jio4GVoice:
In my country "India" there is a telecom company "Reliance Jio"
which gives calls and SMS on full VoLTE network. But for those phones which doesn't have VoLTE, they releases an app called "Jio4GVoice" to call and message. Since for some reason Google have not pushed VoLTE update to "Nexus 6P". And I have to use Jio4GVoice in such a premium phone.
Anyway Please help
I had an app that would block all calls that were outside of my contact list, it was awesome, but ATT pushed a few updates and now the calls are still being blocked but I am getting a notification that I do not want with each blocked call. Is there a way to turn this notification off?
