Android 7.0 Nougat comes with many new features, and among these is the new call blocking feature on Nougat that let’s you block a phone number directly from the new Phone app on your Nougat running device.
On the visual part, the new Phone app on Nougat features nothing special, but come to the settings and you’ll notice new options like Call blocking and Caller ID & spam.
While call blocking allows you to block annoying phone calls from a particular number, the new spam protection feature will let you know in advance (when your phone rings) if the number calling is suspected of being spam.
