Im using SamsungA20, I want to block all unknown numbers that are not in my contact list. I found an option called " block unknown caller" i had turned on that option but of no use.. its not working at all.. i still getting unknown calls..
It happened on other Samsung devices as well.

If inbuilt one isn't working then use a 3rd party blocking app.

1. goto settings>apps> phone>storage and clear its cache.
2. see if background battery usage for phone app is allowed or not.
long press phone app>app info>battery>

3. If upper method don't work then goto settings>apps>3dot>reset app preference.

4. If none work then download true caller, its best to block calls.

It is pretty sad that there is, not only no resolution but no response to this re-occurring issue.  Given the number of spoofed calls received.

Neither this nor my vendor-provided call filter are stopping or slowing the number of spam calls I receive.
