Hi
I have Galaxy A52 Android 11 
I get allot of spam calls lately, sometimes on a daily basis and it frick me off. All of them are international calls. I search online and couldnt find an efficent way to block it.

The only block features my phone allow is to block a specific number. There is a way to block all unknown numbers, but its not something that I want to do.

Is there a way to block those international calls? 
Block by country Region Code?
(Without 3d party apps, just the Phone Settings)

Hi Go to call app>3 dots on the top left corner>settings>caller id and spam protection, and make sure to turn on "block spam and scam calls"

I already tried that as well. The thing is that this feature was fine in older Android versions. I hope they will fix it. Thanks

In order to block spam calls, they need to be identified as such calls. The numbers dialing you may not yet be identified as spam, try contacting your cellular company and see if calls from international numbers can be blocked.

I tried that also. Cellular operators don't have this kind of service in my country. None of them. For now I using the "Block all identified numbers feature" and set the phone to switch to DNT mode for several hours a day

You can block individual numbers through dialer settings.

Groups of numbers cannot be blocked en masse through the device, except for calls identified as spam. Try contacting the company that addresses you in these calls and ask not to contact you via voice calls.

Try an 3rd app like truecaller, the app has big database for spam numbers. Maybe it will help
