Do you have a clingy ex? Or a drunk stalker? Even a very persistent toilet paper salesman would be worth downloading an app. Use one of these blacklists apps for Android and not only will you block all their calls, but you also won’t receive any texts from them. A lot of smartphone manufacturers these days have started to provide blacklisting features in their Android skins. However, those are a hit and miss and some smartphones don’t even come with them at all. I tried to find this feature in my LG G4 but failed, and it is a relatively new smartphone with Android 6.0 on board. But as an Android user, I don’t care if manufacturers neglect to put in this feature. We all know that the Google Play Store will have plenty of apps to block out calls and messages. Naturally, I researched and found some pretty amazing blacklist apps for Android. I tested them out thoroughly and found them to work perfectly. Now I have blocked a lot of numbers and receive a considerably lower amount of spam messages. Thankfully, now I don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to hear about the “termite problem” I might have. Note: The 5 best blacklist apps for Android were tested on a Sony Xperia Z1 smartphone. The apps worked perfectly fine, and no problems were faced during testing. I was able to successfully block a contact using all of these apps. So the functionality is present in each entry of this list, the features may differ a little bit.
