Checklist
Feature description
Add a global setting to choose how all blocked calls are handled,
regardless of the reason for blocking (anonymous numbers, numbers
not in contacts, spam, or manually blocked numbers).
The options should be:
- Reject — the call is rejected immediately, the caller hears a busy
tone
- Silence — the call rings silently on the device, the caller hears
a normal ring tone
- Hang up — the call is answered and immediately terminated, the
caller hears nothing
Why do you want this feature?
Currently Fossify Phone applies a single fixed blocking behavior
(Reject) with no way to choose. Different users have different
preferences on how blocked calls should be handled.
From personal experience:
- Reject: the caller understands the call has been blocked, as it
is rejected immediately. This is the default blocking behavior
of any dialer app
- Silence: the caller does not realize the call has been blocked, as
the call appears to ring normally
- Hang up: the caller perceives the number as dead — the call is
disconnected immediately with no ring and no busy tone. This was
also the default blocking behavior in the early 2000s
Apps like SpamBlocker (aj3423) already implement this choice via
the CallScreeningService API, proving it is feasible.
