I don't answer my phone unless I recognize a number. If it's that important, they can leave a voicemail. If it's a useless voicemail, I just block the phone number.
I have a Sony Xperia. When put in "silent mode", it only rings if the caller is in the contacts list. You can still see the other calls though. It is very convenient.
If I receive a call from unknown number, I sometimes send a message informing them I don't recognize your number , if you need to reach me please make your initial contact by message, informing me why you need to talk to me, they never do.
bro, dude, I stumbled upon this video. I can't believe how long I've had phone number sharing enabled. I never knew. I turned that off immediately. thank you. subscribed
Thank you... Being in my mid/late 60s, and trying to navigate through the latest tech, I find your content invaluable... once again, A BIG THANK-YOU. 👍👍

0:53 Read the text. It does not imply Google will share your phone number if this is enabled. It enables Google to present you with the choice of sharing a number. I'd be more wary of disabling a choice than leaving it on.
That is correct, but a completely wrong statement to 'be wary' of turning off settings. Just means it limits some services. Not everyone needs or wants all the interference and crap peddled by Google, it's not the Oracle
@bertbox69 My point is that disabling the presentation of a choice might trigger a default action I DON'T want. I'm talking more precaution, not less, or trusting Google.
I came here to say just that. If Google presents me with a choice of which number to share, then that is better than that is just sharing my number by default. I will be leaving this toggle enabled.
Toggling the switch to 'off' on the Phone Number Sharing screen does not stop your phone sharing the number. It merely takes away your choice of which number to transmit by disabling that screen.
@FoulOwlx Best way is to go back to a dumbphone, smartphone these days are purely a means of marketing and getting your eyeballs onto unnecessary things in the hopes of getting your money
Pay for a secret number at the provider. But the question is: why would you want that? If someone is calling you (a scammer) then they obviously already have your number and if you call someone, then why should they not see your number? Ob websites and Apps you get asked anyway if you leave that on.
Agreed, I have been make changes via his video's for about an hour. These devices are tracking our every move and all our activities, it is just insane!!
Thanks, very useful. In addition to getting unwanted phone calls and sms scams with web links, phone number also gives access to whatsapp and other phone number based apps.
His advice is actually wrong. Unselecting that setting does not prevent sharing of the number. It just takes away your choice of which number it shares. It even says so in the text on the screen. Those who can read do have an advantage
💁🏻♀️🙏🏻💗 THANK YOU SO MUCH to both of you. 💗🙏🏻 I don't show the lists or features where he says it is .... but I did find the "PHONE NUMBER SHARING" under "autofill" as you have said.💁🏻♀️💗😃😌 🙏🏻💗💁🏻♀️ THANK YOU, AGAIN, TO BOTH OF YOU 😌💗🙏🏻
Thank you. I really did appreciate this video . Question I had been hearing voices on my phone while using it. how can I solve these issues? There are a lot of phone interruptions as if someone bugs my phone and is listening to my conversation. My friends and family keor to say the "hear voices too and they also say it sounds like I'm in a well, lol. I did call my carrier it's the same crop nothing changed .
You just suggested to people to turn off the feature that asks you if you want to share your number if an app asks for it, by turning it off you will no longer get a warning and it will automatically share it. You've done the opposite of what you claim this video is meant to do. Either you don't understand how the feature on the phone works or you're being nefarious.
I believe Google has removed that feature, it's not listed as an option anymore unless they have renamed it as something else. The menu path shown in the video is not there on my Google Pixel 8
If only Android settings were not so disjointed, hugely converluted and blasted all over what appears to be dozens of different pages/sections/apps... It's almost as if they make it as cumbersome to keep on top of as possible... 🤔
@pinkivy98 I'm a android Samsung user .if you're on Android try . *tapping the green phone app * select contacts at the bottom right corner if it isn't. * Tap the 3 dots * Tap Settings * Tap Block Numbers * Then enable - block calls from unknown numbers.

Then your done .
i don't have (or cannot locate) permission manager on my samsung A32. is this normal, or can i locate it somewhere else on the phone. everything else you mentioned i was able to do. thanks for these valuable tips.
I don’t have permission manager on my phone either. But instead I went into settings, apps, then clicked on each app. There is a permission section for each app of what you are allowing. Click on it and you can change what you allow on each app. You will need to repeat the process for each app.
So should I allow "ANDROID SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE" be able to access my call log ? Not sure ....But, again, thank you for all of your information.😌💁🏻♀️💗🙏🏻
Goes to screen turn off phone number sharing....fill out job applications online and have to enter phone number over and over again.....turns phone sharing back on. 😊
Missing a major setting to change. Go into phone app ,click on dots top right, go into settings and then call display you can turn it off if you don't want your number sent out when you call others
Google should be SUED for that. I couldn't answer my phone since I got it because EVERYONE was calling it and I just only answered the people I knew. Missed doctor calls etc... This is too much tech too fast. It actually sucks.
Please, if you can, wait until your screen focuses properly .... Cannot understand some things and it is blurry to see where you are at or what it actually says so that I can still follow.... But, otherwise, thank you so much for all of your wonderfull information. Very helpful.
I don't answer my phone unless I recognize a number. If it's that important, they can leave a voicemail. If it's a useless voicemail, I just block the phone number.
That's exactly what I do too.
Me too 😊
I have my cell number listed as my home phone, so if I am not home I don't answer my phone

Same here! In the past few years, I'd gotten calls from phone numbers that I never recognised and I deleted them.

You shouldn't believe everything from the Internet. This video is pure nonsense.
@@2012JvN How so?
I am speechless. Thanks a million. This is what happens when we trust these major MNCs, and we do not read the fine print.

Are these in fine print anywhere?
I never got a comprehensive manual with any phone, and if you need to know about something first to ask about it.
No wonder I was getting call from scammers. Thank you so much.
if your phone number is leaked and on some scam phone list, no setting will save you ... unless you change number
@ImRandomDude I turn off phone number sharing and it's working.
Thanks

to me if its smth google needs i can always go back into settings and enable it again. i do wish it had the option to ask everytime tho

Yup, this one is really confused.
Thanks bro and yes Google should be sued.
Super cool! Actually shocking! Thank you very much!

GREAT INFO Y THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. 😊
Very good, thank you 👍
Those sneeky buggers..... ty for the info. ✌️
Thanks for the tip!!👍🏼
I leave my phone on " do not disturb". Only the numbers on my contact list can get through.
Me too.
What?! I didn't realize this. I thought all calls didn't come through. Thanks for the tip.
I've tried this for a week, and calls still came through they were just silent. 😕
@pinkivy98 I'm a android Samsung user .if you're on Android try .
*tapping the green phone app
* select contacts at the bottom right corner if it isn't.
* Tap the 3 dots
* Tap Settings
* Tap Block Numbers
* Then enable - block calls from unknown numbers.
Under t- Block calls from unknown numbers you'll see - Block spam and scam calls .
*Tap Block spam and scam calls .
* Enable - Caller ID and spam protection if it isn't .
* Below enable - Block spam and scam calls .
* Below you'll find 2 options .Tap the option - Block all spam and scam calls.
Then your done .
Thank you!!❤
Great 😊
I simply do not answer unknown callers or texts, I block them.😊
i don't have (or cannot locate) permission manager on my samsung A32. is this normal, or can i locate it somewhere else on the phone.
everything else you mentioned i was able to do. thanks for these valuable tips.
I don’t have permission manager on my phone either. But instead I went into settings, apps, then clicked on each app. There is a permission section for each app of what you are allowing. Click on it and you can change what you allow on each app. You will need to repeat the process for each app.
If you throw your device against the wall. I gurantee it will block all unwanted calls.
So should I allow "ANDROID SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE" be able to access my call log ? Not sure ....But, again, thank you for all of your information.😌💁🏻♀️💗🙏🏻
Leave android intelligence completely alone. It's basically just your phone software and won't cause any problems.
Goes to screen turn off phone number sharing....fill out job applications online and have to enter phone number over and over again.....turns phone sharing back on. 😊
Thanks for the information ❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
THANK YOU !!!!👍👍👍👍💯
This guy sounds exactly as the scammers that used to call me😂😂😂 im just saying
Missing a major setting to change. Go into phone app ,click on dots top right, go into settings and then call display you can turn it off if you don't want your number sent out when you call others
