Are you looking for a comprehensive guide on how to block unknown callers on your iPhone 8 Plus? The iPhone 8 Plus is an incredibly powerful device, and it has many features that can help protect your privacy. One of these features is the ability to block unknown callers from calling or texting you. In this blog post, we’ll go over how to block unknown callers on the iPhone 8 Plus.

First off, let’s go over what an “unknown caller” is. An unknown caller is someone who isn’t listed in your contacts or in your phone’s address book. This means that if someone is calling or texting you from a number that isn’t in your contacts, it culd be a scammer, a telemarketer, or even someone harassing you.

Fortunately, the iPhone 8 Plus has an easy way to block these kinds of calls and texts: just enable the “Silence Unknown Callers” feature in the Settings app. To do this, open up the Settings app and then select “Phone” from the list of options. Scroll down util you find the “Silence Unknown Callers” option and toggle it on (it will turn green).

Once this setting is enabled, any incoming calls or texts from numbers not in your contacts will automatically be silenced and sent directly to voicemail. They will also appear as blocked calls in your recent calls list so you can easily identify them as such.

However, if you want to take thigs one step further and completely prevent unknown calls from even appearing in your recent calls list (as well as blocking them entirely), then you can also enable a feature called “Filter Messages From Unknown Senders” which can be found by opening up the Settings app again and selecting “Messages” from the list of options. Scroll down until you find “Message Filtering” and toggle it on (it will turn green).

Once this setting is enabled, all messages from numbers not in your contacts will automatically be blocked and sent directly to a new folder called “Unknown Senders” which can be found under Filters > Unknown Senders in the Messages app. With this additional layer of protection enabled, there’s no way for scammers or harassers to contact you via text message!

We hope this guide has been helpful in explaining how to block unknown callers on an iPhone 8 Plus! If you have any questions about other security-related settings on your device, feel free to reach out to us – we’re always happy to help!
