How to Block Numbers Not in Your Contacts on iPhone

Option 1: Using the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ Feature

If you’re tired of receiving calls from unknown numbers on your iPhone, there is a feature that can help you silence them. Follow these steps to enable the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ feature:

Open up your settings

To get started, open your iPhone settings by tapping on the ‘Settings’ app on your home screen.

Scroll down to ‘Phone’ and tap on it

Once you’re in the settings menu, scroll down until you find the ‘Phone’ option. Tap on it to access the phone settings.

Scroll down and tap on ‘Silence Unknown Callers’

Within the phone settings, scroll down until you see the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ option. Tap on it to proceed.

Toggle the feature on

Once you’re on the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ screen, toggle the feature on by tapping on the switch next to it. This will activate the feature.

Explanation of what the feature does

When the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ feature is enabled, any calls from numbers that are not in your contacts list will be silenced and sent to voicemail. These calls will not ring or vibrate your phone, and you won’t receive any notifications for them. However, you will still be able to see them in your recent calls list and listen to any voicemail they leave.

Option 2: Using the ‘Do Not Disturb’ Feature

If you prefer a different method to block numbers not in your contacts on your iPhone, you can use the ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature. Here’s how to set it up:

Go back to the top and tap on ‘Focus’

To begin, go back to the top of your settings menu and tap on the ‘Focus’ option.

Tap on ‘Do Not Disturb’

Within the ‘Focus’ settings, you’ll find the ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature. Tap on it to proceed.

Choose ‘Allow Calls From’ and select ‘My Contacts Only’

Once you’re in the ‘Do Not Disturb’ settings, select the ‘Allow Calls From’ option. From there, choose ‘My Contacts Only’ to ensure that you only receive calls from people in your contacts list.

Explanation of how this option works

By enabling the ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature and selecting ‘My Contacts Only’ under ‘Allow Calls From’, you effectively block calls from anyone who is not in your contacts list. This means that unknown numbers and random callers will not be able to ring your phone or trigger any notifications.

Instructions on how to toggle on the feature

To toggle on the ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature, simply swipe down from the top right of your screen to access the Control Center. Tap on the ‘Do Not Disturb’ or Crescent Moon icon to activate the feature. Once enabled, any calls from unknown numbers will not ring or vibrate your phone.

  3. Did you know that it costs McDonalds $1.91 in advertising to get you into the drive through…?

    And when they sell you a burger for $2.09… they ONLY make $0.18… 🙁

    But… when they upsell you fries and a coke for $1.77 more… they make (and more importantly keep $1.32 profit)…

    Yes, 8 times the profit of the initial sale!

    Pretty cool, don’t you think?

    But… what does that have to do with you?

    Well, If you’re like most people who sell stuff online…

    You setup a website, and you started selling your product…

    But just like McDonalds… even if people are buying it…

    After your advertising costs, you’re probably not left with enough to even cover your hosting bills. 🙁

    And that’s when you realize… that if you want to make it online, you can’t sell from a flat website…

    You need to do what McDonalds did, and setup a sales funnel…

    But instead of having people go through a drive-in window…

    Online they go through a “capture page” where you can gather their contact information and follow up with them through email…

    Then instead of selling them a burger, you have a sales page created to sell your initial product…

    And while you’re probably not going to offer your customers fries and a coke…

    You could upsell them on your other products and services.

    This is what we call a “Sales Funnel”

    Where website visitors can come in the top…

    And cash comes out the bottom…

    You have seen it work at McDonald’s, you have seen it work on Amazon… and you KNOW it will work for you.

    So, you decide to create your first sales funnel…

    But after weeks of trial and error…

    You ask yourself… WHY did it have to be so hard?

    All you wanted to do was to sell your stuff online.

    But instead you spent weeks (maybe months) playing with web builders, hiring designers and programmers BFEORE you ever made your first penny online.

    And to us… well, that seemed kinda backwards.

    Shouldn’t there be an easy way to create high converting marketing funnels, without having to hire an entire staff?

    We thought so, and that’s why we created ClickFunnels – a simple way to easily create sales funnels that convert!
