How to block unwanted calls from a certain number
Updated over 2 months ago

InnoCaption allows you to block unwanted or spam calls from specific numbers by adding them to your Block List on the InnoCaption app.

Please note that if you are experiencing a large number of spam calls and have automatic call forwarding set up (calls to your cell phone number are routed to your InnoCaption number), you may want to disable the call forwarding feature temporarily to see which phone number the spam calls are calling to. If the calls are generally coming to your regular cell phone number, you can block them from your regular cell phone dialer. If the calls are coming to your InnoCaption number, add the callers to your Block List on the InnoCaption app by following the instructions below.

Below are instructions for blocking calls in your Recents, manually adding a number to your blocked list, and unblocking a number by removing them from your blocked list.
