This isn't exactly what you're asking for but on Android: Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb > Allowed in Priority Only > Calls From Contacts Only (or Calls from Starred Contacts Only if you really want to lock it down).
Optionally enable: If the same person calls a second time within a 15 minute period, allow it (might allow someone really trying to reach you to get through, might also allow a spam caller through).
- kibwen 9y agoI appreciate the advice, I hadn't considered using DND, but wouldn't that also silence e.g. texts as well?

- fossuser 9y agoI tried this on iOS and it doesn’t work well because it turns off all other notifications. While calls do get through from your contacts, you don’t get notifications for anything. I really just want a contacts whitelist, but since that isn’t an option I use nomorobo which is a subscription service that works really well to block spam calls for $2/month. It’s an iOS app, focuses on not uploading your stuff to their servers, and doesn’t collect your call logs.
- TheAdamist 9y agoDnd-priority on Android does not silence texts from known contacts, I've been forced to use it because of spam calls too.
- batrat 9y agoI have an s7 and I star every important number. I use use IFTTT to enable DND automaticaly at 22.00 and disable it at 8.00. Is very convinient. I can also filter an app for example whatsapp to pass DND and ring.
