- hunter2_ 10y agoI do this ever since I started getting a bunch of spam calls, and it's amazing. The dialer does still "ring" in the sense that it takes over your phone and you need to swipe-to-decline or wait it out, but it won't vibrate/sound except for those in my contacts. For my particular phone (Droid Turbo) it's here: Notification bar > swipe down again on notification bar > Do not disturb > Priority only > Until you turn this off; More settings > Priority only allows > Calls > From contacts only. There's even an option down there (sibling to Calls, in the flow above) called "Repeat callers" which, when on, allows a not-in-contacts call to ring if they called twice within 15 minutes. None of my spam callers ever call twice in a row, so it's brilliant for making sure I see (repeat) calls from food delivery people, uber drivers, etc. (although I feel bad that I missed their initial call). Of course YMMV depending on model and version. https://www.howtogeek.com/260225/androids-confusing-do-not-disturb-settings-explained/ https://www.howtogeek.com/260225/androids-confusing-do-not-d...
